Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.117222
Category:Web Servers
Title:'/.jsp/WEB-INF/' Information Disclosure Vulnerability (HTTP)
Summary:Various application or web servers / products are prone to an; information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Various application or web servers / products are prone to an
information disclosure vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The servlet specification prohibits servlet containers from
serving resources in the '/WEB-INF' and '/META-INF' directories of a web application archive
directly to clients.

This means that URLs like:

http://example.com/WEB-INF/web.xml

will return an error message, rather than the contents of the deployment descriptor.

However, some application or web servers / products are prone to a vulnerability that exposes this
information if the client requests a URL like this instead:

http://example.com/.jsp/WEB-INF/web.xml

http://example.com/.jsp/web-inf/web.xml

(note the '.jsp/' before 'WEB-INF').

Vulnerability Impact:
Based on the information provided in this file an attacker might
be able to gather additional info and / or sensitive data about the application / the application
/ web server.

Affected Software/OS:
The following products are known to be affected:

- Caucho Resin version 1.2.x and 1.3b1

Other products and versions might be affected as well.

Solution:
Please contact the vendor for more information on possible fixes.
