jackson.core needs to be upgraded to a secure version(v3.1.0)

[mrwangzw-001]

The current version is 2.14.1 in codeql/java/tools/ferstl-depgraph-dependencies/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-core/2.14.1/jackson-core-2.14.1.jar.

jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large. jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document, defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.

Hi

Thank you for reporting this. While I doubt this actually represents a real vulnerability for us, I'll forward to the relevant team.
