What is CVE-2019-14893?

A security vulnerability exists in FasterXML's jackson-databind that allows for the polymorphic deserialization of malicious objects.

Attackers can leverage this weakness to instantiate arbitrary objects from unsafe sources, leading to the potential execution of malicious code in impacted applications.
