Description

Summary In `BeanDeserializer._deserializeUsingPropertyBased`, the active-view (`@JsonView`) filter was applied only to creator properties; the regular property-buffering branch performed no `prop.visibleInView(activeView)` check. A change making `SetterlessProperty.isMerging()` return `true` routed setterless Collection/Map properties through this unguarded path, so a setterless collection annotated with a restricted `@JsonView` is populated from attacker JSON even when the active view excludes it. Impact View-restricted (e.g. admin-only) setterless collection/map properties can be written from untrusted JSON despite `@JsonView` gating — an access-control / mass-assignment bypass. No RCE or DoS.
