CVE-2022-21653: Hash collision in typelevel jawn

January 6, 2022 (updated January 10, 2022)

Jawn is an open source JSON parser. Extenders of the org.typelevel.jawn.SimpleFacade and org.typelevel.jawn.MutableFacade who don’t override objectContext() are vulnerable to a hash collision attack which may result in a denial of service. Most applications do not implement these traits directly, but inherit from a library. jawn-parser-1.3.1 fixes this issue and users are advised to upgrade. For users unable to upgrade override objectContext() to use a collision-safe collection.
