Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-502
Deserialization of Untrusted Dat
Publication date:

Description
JsonKafkaHeaderMapper and the deprecated DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix check, meaning that trusting any package implicitly trusted all of its subpackages. Combined with Jackson&#39;s default bean deserialization, a producer could supply crafted header values that caused the consumer to deserialize arbitrary JDK types.<br />
<br />
Affected versions:<br />
Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0 through 4.0.5; 3.3.0 through 3.3.15; 3.2.0 through 3.2.13; 2.9.0 through 2.9.13; 2.8.0 through 2.8.11.
