Last modified

CVE-2019-12814 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x through 2.9.9. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has JDOM 1.x or 2.x jar in the classpath, an attacker can send a specifically crafted JSON message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server.. EPSS estimates a 10.95% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
