The Jackson project reports:

CVE-2026-89407: NumberInput.looksLikeValidNumber() pre-validates stringified numbers with PATTERN_FLOAT, whose adjacent quantifiers allow catastrophic backtracking on crafted input.

CVE-2026-89425: UTF8DataInputJsonParser builds the offending token text for an error message in a loop without an upper bound, so it ignores maxErrorTokenLength. The other three parser implementations are not affected.
