An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-68497 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.14.0; fixed in 2.18.10\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.14.0; fixed in 2.18.10\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.19.0; fixed in 2.21.6\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.19.0; fixed in 2.21.6\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.22.0; fixed in 2.22.2\n- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 2.22.0; fixed in 2.22.2\n- tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.1.6\n- tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.1.6\n- tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 3.2.0; fixed in 3.2.2\n- tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven): affected from 3.2.0; fixed in 3.2.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68497/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68497","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2026:77648","ALSA-2026:80504","CLEANSTART-2026-AW63553","CLEANSTART-2026-BM41905","CLEANSTART-2026-BM99045","CLEANSTART-2026-JD77891","CLEANSTART-2026-MA98261","CLEANSTART-2026-OF13352","CLEANSTART-2026-OM88391","CLEANSTART-2026-ON24571","CLEANSTART-2026-QQ14312","CLEANSTART-2026-RK86392","CLEANSTART-2026-ST77760","CLEANSTART-2026-TI30417","CLEANSTART-2026-VZ03493","CLEANSTART-2026-WY72170","CLSA-2026-1791984617","CLSA-2026-1792200854","CLSA-2026-1792442250","CLSA-2026-1792748024","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68497","ECHO-0fab-8088-2301","GHSA-q4xh-88c3-wmh7","MINI-2295-wrfw-76fw","MINI-24xg-269q-ff5p","MINI-27gg-8qcf-rp27","MINI-29wg-j66p-6jr3","MINI-2cp4-gqhc-89wv","MINI-2g98-rq8m-fgg5","MINI-2m6h-xr6c-j8cv","MINI-2w69-gcp9-5gcx","MINI-38pf-9h32-rwrc","MINI-42x4-2w2r-c8mp","MINI-49r9-4c88-gv8m","MINI-4rqm-7cxv-9mvj","MINI-5cg6-h2j2-8wgq","MINI-5h6w-hq2r-jh6p","MINI-62qv-8x27-p928","MINI-64qm-mvfc-7j28","MINI-6c6x-57q6-pf23","MINI-6v8x-96m9-pw59","MINI-73vp-q298-527x","MINI-7746-rhp9-96m7","MINI-78rf-f6pw-6jxc","MINI-7r64-7r5c-whr9","MINI-83vc-7mp9-4jc5","MINI-8gwc-h382-qr8v","MINI-8vxh-jp48-4525","MINI-8w7r-4vxg-63v6","MINI-92j9-c785-2ph6","MINI-96p8-7mh2-x32x","MINI-9fj7-w54x-2cj8","MINI-9fmv-6hvx-jwg3","MINI-9jm2-8w6r-w5jm","MINI-9q66-gqg8-pxq7","MINI-9rgh-47f2-mv2p","MINI-9wq6-7wh3-53mx","MINI-c366-5c3r-hv6j","MINI-c59w-phrr-pvf2","MINI-c7hh-8vm3-8px9","MINI-c9rr-5fh4-qj8j","MINI-f86r-xv8c-rc54","MINI-f8jg-jc9j-7hr7","MINI-f935-9hgf-gqxh","MINI-fcfx-8q9c-8464","MINI-fcj4-6f47-7fqm","MINI-fcxx-8rf4-q88q","MINI-fqjg-p26f-2qfq","MINI-g56h-586f-2gp7","MINI-g879-h476-pwmm","MINI-gff2-563p-2wxm","MINI-gfvx-4vcj-3h9p","MINI-ghv8-pgpc-4v56","MINI-gjch-4mqf-gp4q","MINI-gw79-x2v5-xcxq","MINI-h9x7-qmxc-q3fw","MINI-j5m4-rg26-2w2m","MINI-j99f-q323-q9w7","MINI-j9c5-9fx8-p25c","MINI-jgff-xr69-jg5r","MINI-jj94-v56v-rxp2","MINI-jvrc-6qfw-54qv","MINI-jwc5-7rgp-c23c","MINI-jxg5-grmc-gmq5","MINI-jxjx-gxmw-pq7m","MINI-m838-q768-5h3v","MINI-mc47-m394-9rp8","MINI-mgrv-vx7w-36mg","MINI-mrfh-wf48-mwc2","MINI-p3m3-83fh-q9j6","MINI-p4g2-mj3f-gj9w","MINI-p96m-jg5q-8rgx","MINI-pf6f-3qrg-3r53","MINI-pjgx-vvc8-qc72","MINI-pm2w-rggq-7wcp","MINI-pr62-j9rp-8w2g","MINI-q2rx-7cmv-6jmm","MINI-qf85-h3v6-x4m8","MINI-qgfx-v3v8-hjw6","MINI-qhcg-pc66-rp4h","MINI-qpq4-9942-r4p6","MINI-qrgj-44cm-vjf6","MINI-qxv4-xxv4-m2hh","MINI-r372-jx3w-69mq","MINI-r9v2-xfq5-8qgq","MINI-rpv7-wgp2-j8vh","MINI-rqg7-fw45-xv9g","MINI-rqxj-2hf5-4j5m","MINI-rrq4-rgvx-x967","MINI-rrrj-59c2-9h5x","MINI-v7p2-cj3g-vh55","MINI-vhh2-gf6r-8fjq","MINI-vj3c-m258-pcx8","MINI-vmh4-qxph-r6j8","MINI-vq2f-r2qw-rq7v","MINI-vv95-r54x-65cx","MINI-w259-whf4-9g4x","MINI-w436-8m72-26m3","MINI-w489-qm5g-7xqv","MINI-w532-j87q-5q3p","MINI-w5qm-q23x-6j39","MINI-w5xc-4hvh-pm3c","MINI-w77h-hv52-j898","MINI-wj2j-c5fv-pmww","MINI-wjpx-6gpv-vq35","MINI-x2hp-vcqw-55hv","MINI-x58r-cfg2-5qcf","MINI-x5c4-wq32-9mp8","MINI-x9wq-qm45-g52q","MINI-xmhw-mhrh-8fc8","MINI-xp68-hcj3-c29v","MINI-xpxg-8j24-wv66","MINI-xvrq-5w3g-9g24","MINI-xxrp-r2jq-7pff","RHSA-2026:77648","RHSA-2026:80504","RLSA-2026:77648","RLSA-2026:80504","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2026-68497","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68497"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java JSON library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can cause CPU exhaustion and denial of service by sending crafted JSON payloads to applications using jackson-databind.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HeroDevs","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"},{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"jackson-databind binds a JSON string to a javax.xml.datatype.Duration or javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar field by passing the raw string verbatim to DatatypeFactory.newDuration(value) or newXMLGregorianCalendar(value) in CoreXMLDeserializers.Std._deserialize. These deserializers are registered by default with no opt-in, so a plain ObjectMapper or JsonMapper with no polymorphic typing and no special configuration reaches this path. The XML Schema lexical grammar permits numeric components of arbitrary length, which the JDK materializes through the native BigInteger(String) and BigDecimal(String) constructors, both quadratic in digit count. Because the digits sit inside a JSON string token rather than a JSON number token, jackson-core's StreamReadConstraints.maxNumberLength guard never applies; jackson's own NumberDeserializers call validateIntegerLength or validateFPLength before parsing a stringified number, but the XML datatype deserializer omits that pre-check. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore submit a single request of a few megabytes, such as a Duration value consisting of the letter P followed by several million digits and the letter Y, and force tens of seconds to several minutes of single-threaded CPU work; a handful of concurrent requests can saturate a server's worker threads.
