Submit #908323: java-json-tools jackson-coreutils 2.0 SSRF + BigDecimal Amplification Remote DoSinfo

Titlejava-json-tools jackson-coreutils 2.0 SSRF + BigDecimal Amplification Remote DoS
DescriptionSSRF + BigDecimal Amplification Remote DoS Chain via fromURL() and WRITE_BIGDECIMAL_AS_PLAIN The combination of JsonLoader.fromURL() (which performs no URL validation) and the default WRITE_BIGDECIMAL_AS_PLAIN configuration in JacksonUtils.newMapper() creates a remote denial-of-service chain. An attacker-controlled URL can serve a tiny JSON payload (e.g., {"x": 1e2000000000}) that expands to ~2GB in memory when serialized via BigDecimal.toPlainString(), causing OutOfMemoryError.
