Describe the bug

Our unit tests caught regression in Jackson behaviour when upgrading to 2.18.3. We used ConstructorDetector.USE_PROPERTIES_BASED to prevent cases where json string can be used instead of proper json object when class contains only one string field. After migration to 2.18.3 our tests started to fail as ConstructorDetector.USE_PROPERTIES_BASED stopped protecting from this behaviour

Version Information

2.18.3

Reproduction

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.cfg.ConstructorDetector;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.json.JsonMapper;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertThrows;

public class JacksonSerializationTest {

    // succeeds with 2.12.7
    // also succeeds with 2.17.0, 2.17.2, 2.18.0, 2.18.1, 2.18.2
    // fails with 2.18.3+
    @Test
    public void testSerialization() {
        String json = "{\"someFiled\":\"imSomeStringVal\"}";

        ObjectMapper objectMapper = JsonMapper.builder()
                .constructorDetector(ConstructorDetector.USE_PROPERTIES_BASED)
                .build();

        // no exception starting from 2.18.3
        assertThrows(JsonMappingException.class, () -> {
            objectMapper.readValue(json, WrapperClass.class);
        });
    }

    public static class WrapperClass {
        @JsonProperty("someFiled")
        private final SingleStringClass someFiled;

        private WrapperClass() {
            someFiled = null;
        }

        public WrapperClass(SingleStringClass someFiled) {
            this.someFiled = someFiled;
        }
    }

    public static class SingleStringClass {
        @JsonProperty("someStringVal")
        private final String someStringVal;

        private SingleStringClass() {
            someStringVal = null;
        }

        public SingleStringClass(String someStringVal) {
            this.someStringVal = someStringVal;
        }
    }
}

Maybe related to https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/4860 - a fix made for 2.18.3

Comment From: Saljack

I can also confirm it. It works in 2.17.2. 2.18.0 - 2.18.2 have the issue described in #4860 with multiple constructors. The multiple constructor issue was fixed in 2.18.3, but the fix enabled one string construction for ConstructorDetector.USE_PROPERTIES_BASED.

Filed failing test for https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/pull/5213. Feels like almost as if this issue is conflicting with #4860.
