An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-7816 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.0.17\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.0.17\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.1.0.Beta1; fixed in 1.1.0.CR5\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.1.0.Beta1; fixed in 1.1.0.CR5\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.2.0.Beta1; fixed in 1.2.0.Beta3\n- io.undertow:undertow-core (Maven): affected from 1.2.0.Beta1; fixed in 1.2.0.Beta3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7816/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7816/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-7816","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7816/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-7816","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h6p6-fc4w-cqhx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on Windows systems running JBoss Undertow via directory traversal in resource URIs.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"undertow","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in JBoss Undertow 1.0.x before 1.0.17, 1.1.x before 1.1.0.CR5, and 1.2.x before 1.2.0.Beta3, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..
