CVE-2026-83557
jackson-databind omits java.lang.Comparable from DefaultBaseTypeLimitingValidator's unsafe base types
02 Description
jackson-databind omits java.lang.Comparable from DefaultBaseTypeLimitingValidator's unsafe base types
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Public exploit code exists. CISA's assessment records a public proof of concept. That is not a report of exploitation in the wild.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationpocPublic proof-of-concept exploit code exists. Not a report of exploitation in the wild.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.71% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 53.2% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 5.6 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
- NVD analysis status
- Awaiting Analysis. NVD last modified this record on 2026-09-08.
- Red Hat severity
- Moderate. Red Hat's rating for its own products, not a CVSS rating.
Exploit-prediction scores from FIRST. Independent scoring and analysis status from the NVD. Vendor severity from Red Hat. Exploitation assessment and catalog membership from CISA.

07 Remediation
Upgrade to jackson-databind 2.18.10, 2.21.6, 2.22.2 (com.fasterxml.jackson.core) or 3.1.6, 3.2.2 (tools.jackson.core). The fix adds java.lang.Comparable to the UnsafeBaseTypes denylist in DefaultBaseTypeLimitingValidator, so polymorphic resolution against a Comparable base type is denied outright. Applications that legitimately need polymorphic handling of a Comparable-typed property must configure an explicit PolymorphicTypeValidator, for example a BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator with an allow-list of permitted subtypes.
