Summary

IBM Watson Discovery for IBM Cloud Pak for Data contains a vulnerable version of FasterXML jackson-databind.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2020-8840
**DESCRIPTION:**An unspecified error with the lack of certain xbean-reflect/JNDI blocking in FasterXML jackson-databind has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/176241 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2020-9547
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the mishandling of interaction between serialization gadgets and typing in com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionConfig (aka ibatis-sqlmap). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/177103 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-9548
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the mishandling of interaction between serialization gadgets and typing in br.com.anteros.dbcp.AnterosDBCPConfig (aka anteros-core). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/177104 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-9546
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the mishandling of interaction between serialization gadgets and typing in org.apache.hadoop.shaded.com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig (aka shaded hikari-config). By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/177102 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
