CVE-2017-17485 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. FasterXML jackson-databind through 2.8.10 and 2.9.x through 2.9.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 deserialization flaw. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper, bypassing a blacklist that is ineffective if the Spring libraries are available in the classpath.. EPSS estimates a 49.73% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
