CVE-2020-9547· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.10.4 mishandles the interaction between serialization gadgets and typing, related to com.ibatis.sq

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 45/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 18.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.2% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: jackson-databind (Debian:12) 2.11.1-1; jackson-databind (Debian:8) 2.4.2-2+deb8u12; com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven) 2.7.9.7, 2.8.11.6, 2.9.10.4.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to jackson-databind (Debian:12) 2.11.1-1; jackson-databind (Debian:8) 2.4.2-2+deb8u12; com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind (Maven) 2.7.9.7, 2.8.11.6, 2.9.10.4 or later.

Root cause

Data received over the network is deserialized into the language’s native object format without verifying its source. Code paths inside the object can be triggered during deserialization.

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

python
payload = sock.recv(65536)job = pickle.loads(payload)
