A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in RESTEasy in versions before 3.11.1.Final and before 4.5.3.Final, where it did not properly handle URL encoding when the RESTEASY003870 exception occurs. An attacker could use this flaw to launch a reflected XSS attack.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7351-1 advisory.

    Nikos Papadopoulos discovered that RESTEasy improperly handled URL encoding when certain errors occur. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to modify the app's behavior for other users through the network.
    (CVE-2020-10688)

    Mirko Selber discovered that RESTEasy improperly validated user input during HTTP response construction.
    This issue could possibly allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2020-1695)

    It was discovered that RESTEasy unintentionally disclosed potentially sensitive server information to     users during the handling of certain errors. (CVE-2020-25633)

    It was discovered that RESTEasy unintentionally disclosed parts of its code to users during the handling     of certain errors. (CVE-2021-20289)

    It was discovered that RESTEasy used improper permissions when creating temporary files. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to get access to sensitive data. (CVE-2023-0482)

    It was discovered that RESTEasy improperly handled certain HTTP requests and could be forced into a state     in which it can no longer accept incoming connections. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause     a denial of service. (CVE-2024-9622)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
