| [jetty-users] Indexing/Listing Vulnerability in Jetty |
Hello!
Greetings from the team at Webtide. We wanted to make you aware of a vulnerability that was recently discovered in Jetty and reported as CVE-2019-10241, CVE-2019-10246 and CVE-2019-10247.
If you are using DefaultServlet or ResourceHandler with indexing/listing, then you are vulnerable to a variant of XSS behaviors surrounding the use of injected HTML element attributes on the parent directory link. We recommend disabling indexing/listing or upgrading to a non-vulnerable version.
We have put together a blog post that contains more information on how to disable indexing/listing, which can be found on the Webtide website.
Additionally, we discovered that usages of DefaultHandler were susceptible to a similar leak of information. If no webapp was mounted on the root "/" namespace, a page would be generated with links to other namespaces. This has been the default behavior in Jetty for years, but we have removed this to safeguard data.
As a result of these CVEs, we have released new versions for the 9.2.x, 9.3.x, and 9.4.x branches. The most up-to-date versions of all three are as follows, and are available both on the Jetty website and Maven Central.
Versions affected:
Best Regards,
The Webtide Team
