GHSA-5hh8-q8hv-fr38: jackson-databind has @JsonView bypass for setterless creator properties

mediumCVSS 5.3CVE-2026-54517
Summary In BeanDeserializer._deserializeUsingPropertyBased, the active-view (@JsonView) filter was applied only to creator properties; the regular property-buffering branch performed no prop.visibleInView(activeView) check. A change making SetterlessProperty.isMerging() return true routed setterless Collection/Map properties through this unguarded path, so a setterless collection annotated with a restricted @JsonView is populated from attacker JSON even when the active view excludes it. Impact View-restricted (e.g. admin-only) setterless collection/map properties can be written from untrusted JSON despite @JsonView gating — an access-control / mass-assignment bypass. No RCE or DoS. Affected / Patched (verified via git tag --contains) - 2.21 line: >= 2.21.0, < 2.21.4 -> fixed in 2.21.4 (backport 94c5d21, #5970) - 3.x line: >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.4 -> fixed in 3.1.4 (#5969, 5bf23ed) Severity / CWE Maintainer: minor. Reporter: HIGH. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization); related CWE-1220. Credits Omkhar Arasaratnam (@omkhar) - finder.
