🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[bwappsec]

This is a minor version upgrade for the Jackson suite of libraries from 2.17.1 to 2.18.6. While there are no major, explicitly documented API breaking changes, this release contains significant internal modifications and a few behavioral changes that warrant a medium risk assessment.

Key Changes:

• Property Introspection Rewrite: The jackson-databind module underwent a major internal rewrite of its property introspection logic. [4] This was done to resolve long-standing bugs, but such a significant change carries a risk of subtle, unintended behavioral shifts. Several regressions were found and fixed in the patch versions leading up to 2.18.6. [2, 3, 7]
• Kotlin Support: Support for Kotlin version 1.7.x has been dropped. Projects using Kotlin must be on version 1.8, 1.9, or 2.0. [1, 10]
• Behavioral Change (UTF-8 Encoding): A bug was fixed in jackson-core where supplementary Unicode characters were incorrectly written as a surrogate pair. They are now correctly written using a 4-byte UTF-8 encoding. [1] This could affect systems that were inadvertently relying on the previous incorrect behavior.

Recommendation:
Due to the significant internal changes in jackson-databind and the specific behavioral change in character encoding, thorough regression testing of serialization and deserialization logic is strongly recommended to ensure compatibility.
