Jackson polymorphic typing accepts arbitrary class names from JSON input (unsafe deserialization).

Category: SECURITY · Engine rule severity: WARNING

How to fix it

Remove default typing and @JsonTypeInfo(use = Id.CLASS) on Object-typed members; use Id.NAME with registered subtypes, or activateDefaultTyping with a BasicPolymorphicTypeValidator allow-list.
