Vulnerability Details

FasterXML jackson-databind through 2.8.11 and 2.9.x through 2.9.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 and CVE-2017-17485 deserialization flaws. This is exploitable via two different gadgets that bypass a blacklist.

Research direction

Inspect samples/client/petstore/scala/build.gradle and samples/client/petstore/java/jersey1/build.gradle, starting with their jackson-databind and swagger-core dependency declarations. Verify the resolved dependencies after the upgrade and confirm both sample builds no longer use the vulnerable jackson-databind versions.
