QID 995277

Date Published: 2023-09-18

QID 995277: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http (GHSA-hmr7-m48g-48f6)

Jetty accepts the '+' character proceeding the content-length value in a HTTP/1 header field. This is more permissive than allowed by the RFC and other servers routinely reject such requests with 400 responses. There is no known exploit scenario, but it is conceivable that request smuggling could result if jetty is used in combination with a server that does not close the connection after sending such a 400 response.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

  • CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.3 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.
