HIGH | JUNE 09, 2026 | CVE-2026-41732
Description
JsonPulsarHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix check, meaning that trusting any package implicitly trusted all of its subpackages.
Additionally, an empty trusted-packages configuration fell back to trusting all packages rather than applying a safe default allow-list.
Combined with Jackson's default bean deserialization, a producer could supply crafted header values that caused the consumer to deserialize arbitrary JDK types, including classes whose constructors carry side
effects such as allocating file descriptors or spawning thread pools.
