jackson-databind has case-insensitive deserialization bypasses per-property @​JsonIgnoreProperties

CVE-2026-54515 / GHSA-5jmj-h7xm-6q6v

More information

Details

Summary

In BeanDeserializerBase.createContextual(), per-property @JsonIgnoreProperties exclusions are applied by _handleByNameInclusion(), producing a contextual deserializer whose BeanPropertyMap has the ignored properties removed. The subsequent per-property case-insensitivity block (triggered by @JsonFormat(ACCEPT_CASE_INSENSITIVE_PROPERTIES)) rebuilds from this._beanProperties (the original, unfiltered map) instead of contextual._beanProperties, then overwrites the filtered map — restoring every property _handleByNameInclusion had just removed. The ignored property becomes writable again.

Impact

An application that both enables case-insensitive matching and relies on per-property @JsonIgnoreProperties to keep a field unwritable can have that field set from untrusted JSON (mass-assignment-style write).

Affected / Patched

Will be fixed in 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1 and 3.1.4.

Severity / CWE

Maintainer: minor. Reporter: Moderate. CWE-915.

Upstream fix

FasterXML/jackson-databind#5962 (PR #​5964, 0e1b0b2), milestone 3.1.4. Released 2026-06-04.

jackson-databind: @​JsonView ypassed for @​JsonUnwrapped container properties on deserialization

CVE-2026-59889 / GHSA-5gvw-p9qm-jgwh

More information

Details

Summary

UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped() replays the buffered JSON for a @JsonUnwrapped property by iterating its properties and calling prop.deserializeAndSet() with no prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) guard — the exact guard processUnwrappedCreatorProperties() received in the #​5971 / GHSA-rcqc-6cw3-h962 fix, and the guard BeanDeserializer.deserializeWithUnwrapped applies to directly-matched properties. As a result, a property annotated with both @JsonView(PrivilegedView.class) and @JsonUnwrapped is written from attacker JSON even when deserializing under a more-restrictive active view.

Correction to the original framing (runtime-verified): the gap is NOT a per-field inner @JsonView (the unwrapped sub-object's own BeanDeserializer gates inner fields correctly). The unchecked gate is the view of the unwrapped CONTAINER property.

Intent proof (runtime, 2.x HEAD 21dd70dd and 3.x HEAD 7a5939d6)

An @JsonView(AdminView) property that is NOT @JsonUnwrapped → null under PublicView (correctly gated). The identical property WITH @JsonUnwrapped → fully populated (bypass). The fix the creator path already received, not applied to the regular-property method.

Impact — write-side mass-assignment / privilege escalation

@JsonView is commonly used as a write-side authorization guard: a public endpoint binds the body under readerWithView(PublicView.class) and groups privileged state in a nested object whose container property is @JsonView(AdminView). When that property is @JsonUnwrapped, an untrusted caller mass-assigns it. PoC: a self-service registration where AccountFlags{role,approved,creditBalance} is @JsonView(AdminView) @​JsonUnwrapped; attacker JSON {role:ADMIN,approved:true,creditBalance:1000000} under PublicView binds all three → approved admin with arbitrary balance. The failing gate is a WRITE gate, hence integrity-high (C:N/I:H/A:N); no worse than the C:L/I:L parent and arguably higher as @JsonView-as-write-guard is the exact use case #​5971/#​5969 defended.

Affected

• com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind 2.x: confirmed bypass at 21dd70dd (== released 2.21.4 / 2.22.0 line; includes the #​5973 backport). DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION default=true.
• tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind 3.x: confirmed bypass at HEAD 7a5939d6 (latest 3.x). DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION default=false → the stock-config repro is the common shape where privileged inner fields are individually @JsonView(PublicView) and the developer relies on the container @JsonView(AdminView); the 3.x PoC mass-assigns role/approved/creditBalance under PublicView. (The other simultaneous report's PoC was reportedly fixed on 3.x; this distinct container-property path is not.)

Additive variants (runtime-confirmed both branches; all closed by the same one-line guard)

• nested @JsonUnwrapped (unwrapped-in-unwrapped) — recursive bypass.
• merge / readerWithView(...).withValueToUpdate(...) (PATCH/partial-update) — bypass; non-unwrapped merge control gates correctly.
• builder-based deserializer (@JsonDeserialize(builder=...)) — BuilderBasedDeserializer routes through the same processUnwrapped.
• Honest non-findings: read-side serialization correctly honors views (no leak); @JsonAnySetter+view and @JsonTypeInfo+@JsonUnwrapped are separate/unsupported behaviors, not this bug.

Fix

Add prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView()) (when MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION/active-view applies) to the processUnwrapped() property loop, mirroring processUnwrappedCreatorProperties(). One change closes the impact PoC + all three variants across BeanDeserializer and BuilderBasedDeserializer. Full runnable PoCs (2.x + 3.x) + variant harnesses available on request.
