Reachability Analysis

This vulnerability is potentially reachable

    -> org.yaml.snakeyaml.parser.ParserImpl (Extension)
     -> ❌ org.yaml.snakeyaml.parser.ParserImpl$ParseBlockMappingValue (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization. Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization. We recommend upgrading to version 2.0 and beyond.

      -> ❌ com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.doubleparser.AbstractFloatValueParser (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

The non-blocking (async) JSON parser in jackson-core bypasses the maxNumberLength constraint (default: 1000 characters) defined in StreamReadConstraints. This allows an attacker to send JSON with arbitrarily long numbers through the async parser API, leading to excessive memory allocation and potential CPU exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The standard synchronous parser correctly enforces this limit, but the async parser fails to do so, creating an inconsistent enforcement policy.

    -> ❌ com.fasterxml.jackson.core.util.TextBuffer (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

The jackson-core package is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The methods in the classes listed below fail to restrict input size when performing numeric type conversions. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by causing the application to deserialize data containing certain numeric types with large values. Deserializing many of the aforementioned objects may cause the application to exhaust all available resources, resulting in a DoS condition.

     -> ❌ com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.JsonReadContext (Vulnerable Component)

Vulnerability Details

jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large. jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document, defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.
