Context
Jackson 2.9.x had and still gets a lot of CVEs because of how it handles deserialization of polymorphic types.
This has been fixed in Jackson 2.10.x and 2.11.x, so upgrading will safe this project from (unnecessary) security alerts.
Additionally, explicitly block unsafe polymorphic base types with Jackson, just in case. 😉
