An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4800 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server (Maven): affected from 9.3.0; fixed in 9.3.9\n- org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server (Maven): affected from 9.3.0; fixed in 9.3.9\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-2016-4800/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4800/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4800","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4800/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4800","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-872g-2h8h-362q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Jetty web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass protected resource restrictions in Eclipse Jetty on Windows via crafted URLs with escaped characters.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"jetty","vendor":"eclipse"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The path normalization mechanism in PathResource class in Eclipse Jetty 9.3.x before 9.3.9 on Windows allows remote attackers to bypass protected resource restrictions and other security constraints via a URL with certain escaped characters, related to backslashes.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Jetty contains an alias issue that could allow unauthenticated remote code execution due to specially crafted request","id":"CVE-2016-4800","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"eclipse:jetty","products":["eclipse:jetty"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4802"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.3.9"],"introduced":["9.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-872g-2h8h-362q"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.3.9"],"introduced":["9.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-server","source":"GHSA-872g-2h8h-362q"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4797"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release in Jetty Server","id":"CVE-2019-17638","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Access and integrity issue within Eclipse Jetty","id":"CVE-2018-12538","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-22"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Digest authentication lossy encoding","id":"CVE-2026-10050","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-04"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"MadeYouReset HTTP/2 vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-5115","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Eclipse Jetty: DoS attack triggering OutOfMemory with 100-Continue requests","id":"CVE-2024-7708","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"The Eclipse Jetty Server Artifact has a Gzip request memory leak","id":"CVE-2026-1605","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass protected resource restrictions in Eclipse Jetty on Windows via crafted URLs with escaped characters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4800/"}
