In jackson-databind, I have found that the following changes are made for the same event.

In apache/beam, com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonFactory is used in the following.

In v2.15.1, the default string length was changed from 5M to 20M. If you use jackson version 2.15 or later, it would be better to upgrade to 2.15.1. :-)
FasterXML/jackson-core#1020

@masahitojp Thanks for the information. iiuc does this means the breaking change of 2.15.0 is (partly) fixed in 2.15.1 ?

I also checked tha stacktrace the jackson parser is handled by google-api-client-jackson2 dependency (not directly by Beam). It may require the update from this dependency to support Jackson 2.15.

[Abacn]

As of July 2023, the latest version of google-http-client-jackson2 still uses jackson 2.14.2: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.http-client/google-http-client-jackson2/1.43.3

Noting that Jackson 2.14.1 has a conflict with SnakeYaml 2.0: spring-projects/spring-boot#34405

SnakeYaml 1.x has a known vulnerability (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.yaml/snakeyaml/1.33), so we need to upgrade Jackson to properly resolve this conflict.

Also, Beam Java core recently added a hard dependency to SnakeYaml 2.0:

beam/sdks/java/core/build.gradle

Line 101 in 611676d

implementation "org.yaml:snakeyaml:2.0"

cc: @ahmedabu98 since we added the SnakeYaml 2.0 dependency in #30808.

@Abacn @kennknowles should we consider making this a release blocker ?

[kennknowles]

Yes, that could make sense if we currently have a dep conflict that will block important uses. What is the resolution proposal?
