CVE-2026-54516 (GCVE-0-2026-54516)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-23 20:48 – Updated: 2026-06-24 13:00

Title

jackson-databind: Renamed @JsonIgnore'd setters can deserialize via private fields

Summary

jackson-databind contains the general-purpose data-binding functionality and tree-model for Jackson Data Processor. From 2.21.0 until 2.21.4 and 3.1.4, POJOPropertiesCollector._renameProperties() allows a property with @JsonProperty("renamed") on the getter and @JsonIgnore on the setter to be renamed rather than dropped. With MapperFeature.INFER_PROPERTY_MUTATORS enabled (default), the private backing field is retained; during deserialization BeanDeserializerFactory.addBeanProps() sees hasField()==true, builds a FieldProperty, and makes the backing field writable. An attacker supplying the renamed JSON key writes the backing field directly, bypassing the @JsonIgnore on the setter. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.4.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-23 21:24 – Updated: 2026-06-23 21:24

Summary

jackson-databind's renamed @JsonIgnore'd setters can deserialize via private fields

Details

Summary

POJOPropertiesCollector._renameProperties() allows a property with @JsonProperty("renamed") on the getter and @JsonIgnore on the setter to be renamed rather than dropped. With MapperFeature.INFER_PROPERTY_MUTATORS enabled (default), the private backing field is retained; during deserialization BeanDeserializerFactory.addBeanProps() sees hasField()==true, builds a FieldProperty, and makes the backing field writable. An attacker supplying the renamed JSON key writes the backing field directly, bypassing the @JsonIgnore on the setter.

Impact

POJOs combining a renamed getter with an ignored setter (a read-only-over-the-wire pattern) have that field silently set from attacker input (property tampering / mass assignment). Not a general gadget; no RCE.

  "details": "## Summary\n`POJOPropertiesCollector._renameProperties()` allows a property with `@JsonProperty(\"renamed\")` on the getter and `@JsonIgnore` on the setter to be renamed rather than dropped. With `MapperFeature.INFER_PROPERTY_MUTATORS` enabled (default), the private backing field is retained; during deserialization `BeanDeserializerFactory.addBeanProps()` sees `hasField()==true`, builds a `FieldProperty`, and makes the backing field writable. An attacker supplying the renamed JSON key writes the backing field directly, bypassing the `@JsonIgnore` on the setter.\n\n## Impact\nPOJOs combining a renamed getter with an ignored setter (a read-only-over-the-wire pattern) have that field silently set from attacker input (property tampering / mass assignment). Not a general gadget; no RCE.\n\n## Affected / Patched (verified via `git tag --contains`)\n- 2.21 line: `\u003e= 2.21.0, \u003c 2.21.4` -\u003e fixed in **2.21.4** (backport `c3d56dd`, #5968)\n- 3.x line: `\u003e= 3.0.0, \u003c 3.1.4` -\u003e fixed in **3.1.4** (#5967, `e88cb17`)\n\n## Severity / CWE\nMaintainer: minor.
