FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.7.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.11.1 and 2.9.x before 2.9.5 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 c3p0 libraries are available in the classpath.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2018-7489 is a critical public vulnerability record for fasterxml jackson-databind. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether fasterxml jackson-databind is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: debian/debian linux (8.0); debian/debian linux (9.0); fasterxml/jackson-databind; oracle/communications billing and revenue management (12.0). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 9.8, EPSS 19.8%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-184, CWE-502. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, nvd.
