Synopsis

Jetty < 9.4.41 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade to Jetty version 9.4.41 or later.
