GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

CVE-2023-35116 (GCVE-0-2023-35116)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-14 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-02 16:23 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
jackson-databind through 2.15.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact via a crafted object that uses cyclic dependencies. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is that this is not a valid vulnerability report, because the steps of constructing a cyclic data structure and trying to serialize it cannot be achieved by an external attacker.
