What is CVE-2020-36180?

FasterXML's jackson-databind, prior to version 2.9.10.8, exhibits a vulnerability in how it handles serialization gadgets and typing. This weakness relates to the interaction with the org.apache.commons.dbcp2.cpdsadapter.DriverAdapterCPDS, potentially allowing attackers to exploit this issue. Developers using affected versions should prioritize updating their libraries to enhance security and mitigate risks associated with this serialization mishandling.
