Casablanca CLAMP Security/Vulnerability Report

From NexusIQ:

"jackson-databind is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The createBeanDeserializer() function in the BeanDeserializerFactory class allows untrusted Java objects to be deserialized. A remote attacker can exploit this by uploading a malicious serialized object that will result in RCE if the application attempts to deserialize it."

• We have added a Jackson wrapper that must be used in the code, it disables the incriminated feature. We have also added a unit test to ensure the code is secure.
• We will change that library and replace it by another one (GSON)

It impacts our UI as angular is the skeleton technology used in the code.

Anyway we have mitigated the issue by setting the angular version to 1.3.2 with the least amount of security issue reported by Nexus IQ (for Release 1.XX)

It impacts our UI as bootstrap (one of the latest version, 4.1.1) is used in clamp code.
