🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[snyk-io]

This upgrade for jackson-core and jackson-databind spans several minor versions, introducing new features, performance improvements, and significant internal changes. While there are no direct API removals, the risk of behavioral changes requires verification.

Key Changes by Version:

• Jackson 2.16: Introduced new configurable processing limits for maximum document length and property name length to enhance security against DoS attacks. [10, 14]
• Jackson 2.17: Added the DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNEXPECTED_VIEW_PROPERTIES feature and delivered numerous bug fixes and performance improvements. [3, 12]
• Jackson 2.18: This version contains a major internal rewrite of the POJO Property Introspection logic. [1, 7] While this was intended to fix long-standing bugs, it also introduced several regressions related to deserialization with @JsonCreator, Java Records, and Throwable subclasses that were subsequently fixed in patch releases. [2, 5] Upgrading to 2.18.6 includes these fixes, but the underlying changes are substantial.

Potential Impact:

• Behavioral Changes: The property introspection rewrite in v2.18 is the primary source of risk. Applications with complex deserialization logic, especially those using custom creators (@JsonCreator), Java Records, or intricate object hierarchies, may be affected by subtle behavioral changes. [2, 5]
• Environment Changes: For users of the jackson-module-kotlin, support for Kotlin version 1.7.x has been dropped. [1, 16]

Recommendation: This upgrade is assessed as MEDIUM risk. The internal changes are significant enough to warrant thorough regression testing, with a focus on complex object deserialization and validation scenarios to ensure that application behavior remains consistent.
