[JinwooHwang]

Summary

Upgrade Jackson libraries from 2.18.6 to 2.21.2 to address a high-severity security vulnerability in jackson-core.

• jackson-core, jackson-databind, jackson-dataformat-yaml, jackson-datatype-joda, jackson-datatype-jsr310: 2.18.6 → 2.21.2
• jackson-annotations: 2.18.6 → 2.21 (aligned with upstream release versioning)
