CVE-2020-9547 is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.10.4. Jackson Databind mishandles the interaction between serialization gadgets and type handling, permitting use of the ibatis-sqlmap com.ibatis.sqlmap.engine.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionConfig gadget in vulnerable configurations. Applications that deserialize attacker-controlled data while unsafe polymorphic typing is enabled can be susceptible to gadget-chain exploitation.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2020-9547, a remote code execution vulnerability in the FasterXML/jackson-databind Java library. The main file, Poc.java, demonstrates how enabling default typing in Jackson's ObjectMapper and deserializing a specially crafted JSON payload can trigger a JNDI LDAP lookup. The payload references an LDAP endpoint (ldap://localhost:1389/Exploit), which, if controlled by an attacker, could serve a malicious Java class and achieve remote code execution. The repository is minimal, with only a Java POC and a brief README. No actual malicious LDAP server is included; the code is intended to demonstrate the vulnerability trigger, not to deliver a full exploit chain.
