description

Jetty jetty-server and jetty-proxy host restrictions can treat case variants of the same DNS hostname as different destinations. An attacker able to use a forward proxy or CONNECT handler configured with blacklist-only destination controls may reach a blocked HTTP service or TCP endpoint.

mitigation

Upgrade jetty-server to 12.1.12 or 12.0.39, and jetty-proxy to 11.0.33, 10.0.33, or 9.4.65, as applicable. Until upgraded, use strict allowlists and enforce proxy authentication and network egress controls.

fixed in 12.1.12, 12.0.39, 11.0.33, 10.0.33, 9.4.65

outcome

Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.

source signals

Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
