  "details": "## Summary\n`UnwrappedPropertyHandler.processUnwrapped()` replays the buffered JSON for a `@JsonUnwrapped` property by iterating its properties and calling `prop.deserializeAndSet()` with **no `prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView())` guard** \u2014 the exact guard `processUnwrappedCreatorProperties()` received in the #5971 / GHSA-rcqc-6cw3-h962 fix, and the guard `BeanDeserializer.deserializeWithUnwrapped` applies to directly-matched properties. As a result, a property annotated with both `@JsonView(PrivilegedView.class)` and `@JsonUnwrapped` is written from attacker JSON even when deserializing under a more-restrictive active view.\n\n**Correction to the original framing (runtime-verified):** the gap is NOT a per-field inner `@JsonView` (the unwrapped sub-object\u0027s own `BeanDeserializer` gates inner fields correctly). The unchecked gate is the **view of the unwrapped CONTAINER property**.\n\n## Intent proof (runtime, 2.x HEAD 21dd70dd and 3.x HEAD 7a5939d6)\nAn `@JsonView(AdminView)` property that is NOT `@JsonUnwrapped` \u2192 `null` under `PublicView` (correctly gated). The identical property WITH `@JsonUnwrapped` \u2192 fully populated (bypass). The fix the creator path already received, not applied to the regular-property method.\n\n## Impact \u2014 write-side mass-assignment / privilege escalation\n`@JsonView` is commonly used as a write-side authorization guard: a public endpoint binds the body under `readerWithView(PublicView.class)` and groups privileged state in a nested object whose container property is `@JsonView(AdminView)`. When that property is `@JsonUnwrapped`, an untrusted caller mass-assigns it. PoC: a self-service registration where `AccountFlags{role,approved,creditBalance}` is `@JsonView(AdminView) @JsonUnwrapped`; attacker JSON `{role:ADMIN,approved:true,creditBalance:1000000}` under `PublicView` binds all three \u2192 approved admin with arbitrary balance. The failing gate is a WRITE gate, hence integrity-high (`C:N/I:H/A:N`); no worse than the C:L/I:L parent and arguably higher as `@JsonView`-as-write-guard is the exact use case #5971/#5969 defended.\n\n## Affected\n- `com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind` 2.x: confirmed bypass at 21dd70dd (== released 2.21.4 / 2.22.0 line; includes the #5973 backport). `DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION` default=true.\n- `tools.jackson.core:jackson-databind` 3.x: confirmed bypass at HEAD 7a5939d6 (latest 3.x). `DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION` default=false \u2192 the stock-config repro is the common shape where privileged inner fields are individually `@JsonView(PublicView)` and the developer relies on the container `@JsonView(AdminView)`; the 3.x PoC mass-assigns role/approved/creditBalance under PublicView. (The other simultaneous report\u0027s PoC was reportedly fixed on 3.x; this distinct container-property path is not.)\n\n## Additive variants (runtime-confirmed both branches; all closed by the same one-line guard)\n- nested `@JsonUnwrapped` (unwrapped-in-unwrapped) \u2014 recursive bypass.\n- merge / `readerWithView(...).withValueToUpdate(...)` (PATCH/partial-update) \u2014 bypass; non-unwrapped merge control gates correctly.\n- builder-based deserializer (`@JsonDeserialize(builder=...)`) \u2014 `BuilderBasedDeserializer` routes through the same `processUnwrapped`.\n- Honest non-findings: read-side serialization correctly honors views (no leak); `@JsonAnySetter`+view and `@JsonTypeInfo`+`@JsonUnwrapped` are separate/unsupported behaviors, not this bug.\n\n## Fix\nAdd `prop.visibleInView(ctxt.getActiveView())` (when `MapperFeature.DEFAULT_VIEW_INCLUSION`/active-view applies) to the `processUnwrapped()` property loop, mirroring `processUnwrappedCreatorProperties()`. One change closes the impact PoC + all three variants across `BeanDeserializer` and `BuilderBasedDeserializer`. Full runnable PoCs (2.x + 3.x) + variant harnesses available on request.",
