How to fix?

Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind to version 2.14.0-rc1 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 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the JsonNode.toString() method, which serializes nested node structure recursively without a depth limit. An attacker can crash the application with a StackOverflowError by submitting deeply nested JSON, around 1000 levels in a payload of roughly 2 kB, to a service that parses it with ObjectMapper.readTree() and then serializes the result through JsonNode.toString().
