Jackson Security Vuln
Just FYI
It probably is really low risk for us due to the closed nature of the system
3 com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind vulnerabilities found in pom.xml 13 days ago
Remediation
Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind to version 2.8.11.1 or later. For example:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>[2.8.11.1,)</version>
</dependency>Always verify the validity and compatibility of suggestions with your codebase.
Details
FasterXML jackson-databind through 2.8.10 and 2.9.x through 2.9.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 deserialization flaw. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper, bypassing a blacklist that is ineffective if the Spring libraries are available in the classpath.
FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.8.11.1 and 2.9.x before 2.9.5 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because of an incomplete fix for the CVE-2017-7525 deserialization flaw. This is exploitable by sending maliciously crafted JSON input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper, bypassing a blacklist that is ineffective if the c3p0 libraries are available in the classpath.
A deserialization flaw was discovered in the jackson-databind, versions before 2.6.7.1, 2.7.9.1 and 2.8.9, which could allow an unauthenticated user to perform code execution by sending the maliciously crafted input to the readValue method of the ObjectMapper.

There's a write-up here: https://medium.com/@cowtowncoder/on-jackson-cves-dont-panic-here-is-what...
Based on this, I can't see that we are affected.
