For Eclipse Jetty versions <= 9.4.40, <= 10.0.2, <= 11.0.2, it is possible for requests to the ConcatServlet with a doubly encoded path to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. For example a request to `/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml` can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal sensitive information regarding the implementation of a web application.

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is prior to 11.2.4 FP4 or 12.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7173592 advisory.

  - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in formidable v3.1.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via     a crafted filename. NOTE: some third parties dispute this issue because the product has common use cases     in which uploading arbitrary files is the desired behavior. Also, there are configuration options in all     versions that can change the default behavior of how files are handled. Strapi does not consider this to     be a valid vulnerability. (CVE-2022-29622)

  - Node.js IP package could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a     server-side request forgery flaw in the ip.isPublic() function. By sending a specially crafted request     using a hexadecimal representation of a private IP address, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability     to execute arbitrary code on the system and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-42282)   
  - Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in handling multiplexed streams     in the HTTP/2 protocol. By sending numerous HTTP/2 requests and RST_STREAM frames over multiple streams, a     remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service due to server resource     consumption. (CVE-2023-44487)

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

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2408 advisory.

For     example a request to `/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml` can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal     sensitive information regarding the implementation of a web application.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:3758 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution     designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

    This advisory contains the RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.9.0. See the following     advisory for the container images for this release:

    https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:3759

    Security Fix(es):

    * jetty: requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter are able to access protected resources within the     WEB-INF directory (CVE-2021-28169)

    * golang: archive/zip: malformed archive may cause panic or memory exhaustion (CVE-2021-33196)

    * openvswitch: use-after-free in decode_NXAST_RAW_ENCAP during the decoding of a RAW_ENCAP action     (CVE-2021-36980)

    * jetty: SessionListener can prevent a session from being invalidated breaking logout (CVE-2021-34428)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    All OpenShift Container Platform 4.9 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images     when they are available in the appropriate release channel. To check for available updates, use the     OpenShift Console or the CLI oc command. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at     https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/updating/updating-cluster-between-     minor.html#understanding-upgrade-channels_updating-cluster-between-minor

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Jetty hosted on the remote web server is prior to 9.4.41, 10.0.x prior to 10.0.3 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - An issue with failure to invalidate sessions after an exception in the SessionListener#sessionDestroyed() method. (CVE-2021-34428)

 - A issue with permitting access to protected resources within the WEB-INF directory when accessed with doubly encoded paths. (CVE-2021-28169)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:2005-1 advisory.

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.32 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.beta2 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.beta2 to 11.0.1, if a user uses a     webapps directory that is a symlink, the contents of the webapps directory is deployed as a static webapp,     inadvertently serving the webapps themselves and anything else that might be in that directory.
    (CVE-2021-28163)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.37.v20210219 to 9.4.38.v20210224, the default compliance mode allows requests with     URIs that contain %2e or %2e%2e segments to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. For     example a request to /context/%2e/WEB-INF/web.xml can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal sensitive     information regarding the implementation of a web application. (CVE-2021-28164)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 7.2.2 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.alpha0 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.alpha0 to 11.0.1, CPU usage can     reach 100% upon receiving a large invalid TLS frame. (CVE-2021-28165)

  - For Eclipse Jetty versions <= 9.4.40, <= 10.0.2, <= 11.0.2, it is possible for requests to the     ConcatServlet with a doubly encoded path to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. For     example a request to `/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml` can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal     sensitive information regarding the implementation of a web application.

Steven Seeley discovered that in jetty, a Java servlet engine and webserver, requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter are able to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. An attacker may access sensitive information regarding the implementation of a web application.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 9.2.30-0+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jetty9 packages.
