## Connect for Pulsar - Inbound 2.1.5

May 6, 2026  |  [**Download**](https://aerospike.com/download/connector/pulsar_in/)

-   **Jackson library version incompatibility**
    -   The connector has been upgraded to **Jackson 2.21.2** to remediate critical vulnerabilities found in version 2.18.7. However, this Jackson version is not supported natively by current Pulsar brokers, including v4.2.1.
    -   **Required Action:** To avoid runtime errors caused by class signature mismatches, you must manually upgrade the Jackson libraries in your broker or function runtime classpath to the **2.21 series**.
-   **This connector requires Java 11 or later.**
