How to fix?

Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind to version 2.21.4 or higher.

Overview

com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind is a library which contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data Processor.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the BeanDeserializer._deserializeUsingPropertyBased method, whose property-buffering branch omits the prop.visibleInView(activeView) check that the creator-property branch performs. An attacker can populate view-restricted setterless collection or map properties, such as admin-only fields, from untrusted JSON by supplying values for them during deserialization, bypassing @JsonView protection. This affects only setterless collection or map properties annotated with a restricted @JsonView and reached through the property-based creator path.
