## Summary In , per-property exclusions are applied by , producing a deserializer whose has the ignored properties removed. The subsequent per-property case-insensitivity block (triggered by ) rebuilds from (the original, unfiltered map) instead of , then overwrites the filtered map — restoring every property had just removed. The ignored property becomes writable again. ## Impact An application that both enables case-insensitive matching and relies on per-property to keep a field unwritable can have that field set from untrusted JSON (mass-assignment-style write). ## Affected / Patched Fixed in 2.18.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.1 and 3.1.4. ## Severity / CWE Maintainer: minor. Reporter: Moderate. CWE-915. ## Upstream fix FasterXML/jackson-databind#5962 (PR #5964, ), milestone 3.1.4. Released 2026-06-04. ## Credits Omkhar Arasaratnam (@omkhar) - finder.
