Description
An issue was discovered in Play Framework 2.8.0 through 2.8.4. Carefully crafted JSON payloads sent as a form field lead to Data Amplification. This affects users migrating from a Play version prior to 2.8.0 that used the Play Java API to serialize classes with protected or private fields to JSON.
