Description

Summary For Java Records, `POJOPropertiesCollector._removeUnwantedIgnorals()` records a `@JsonIgnore`-annotated component under its original implicit name before `_renameUsing()` applies the `PropertyNamingStrategy`. After the rename, `_ignoredPropertyNames` still holds only the pre-rename name, so `_ignorableProps` is built from the stale key. The renamed JSON key passes `IgnorePropertiesUtil.shouldIgnore()` and is assigned to the Record's constructor parameter, defeating the `@JsonIgnore`. Impact A Record using a naming strategy that relies on `@JsonIgnore` to keep an internal/privileged component out of deserialization can have that component set from the wire via its renamed key (e.g. a role/flag controlled by an untrusted client). Affected / Patched (verified via `git tag --contains`) • 2.15-2.18 line: `>= 2.15.0, fixed in 2.18.8 (backport `c7c6783`) • 2.19-2.21 line: `>= 2.19.0, fixed in 2.21.4 • 3.x line: `>= 3.0.0, fixed in 3.1.4 (#5974, `baa2cdf`) Severity / CWE Maintainer: minor.
