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/%2e/WEB-INF/web.xml
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:
- Atlassian Jira Server and Jira Data Center
- Eclipse Jetty versions 9.4.37.v20210219 and 9.4.38.v2021022
