CVE-2023-36479
LOWEclipse Jetty 9.0.0-9.4.51, 10.0.0-10.0.15, 11.0.0-11.0.15, 12.0.0-beta0-12.0.0-beta1 - Command Injection via CgiServlet
Title source: llmDescription
Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.
