Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

NewCVE-2026-68497 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind to version 2.18.10, 2.21.6, 2.22.2 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 via the CoreXMLDeserializers.Std._deserialize path in src/main/java/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ext/CoreXMLDeserializers.java. An attacker can consume excessive CPU by supplying a JSON string bound to a javax.xml.datatype.Duration or XMLGregorianCalendar field, causing DatatypeFactory.newDuration(value) or newXMLGregorianCalendar(value) to parse arbitrarily long numeric components. This stalls the request-handling thread and can exhaust server CPU under default deserialization settings, denying service to other users.
