This is something that could go really wrong. I remember using this, and it was fine initially, until the `enum` in question _evolved_, and the ordinals changed, so the values didn't correspond anymore to what it was expecting.- Anyway, long story short, if you would like to prevent this system-wide (and I recommend it), [configure](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/wiki/Deserialization-Features) `ObjectMapper` to prevent using the Enum's ordinals with `DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_NUMBERS_FOR_ENUMS`.
- Something like this should work:
- ```java
- final var mapper = new ObjectMapper();
- mapper.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_NUMBERS_FOR_ENUMS, true);
- ```
- If you are using `Spring Boot` you can achieve this modifying `application.yaml`:
- ```yaml
- spring:
- jackson:
- deserialization:
- fail-on-numbers-for-enums: true
- ```
