CVEID:CVE-2019-10241
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the DefaultServlet and ResourceHandler. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/160676 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2021-28169
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the ConcatServlet. By sending a specially-crafted request using a doubly encoded path, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from protected resources within the WEB-INF directory, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/203492 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2017-7657
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper handling of Chunked Transfer-Encoding chunk size. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145521 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2017-7658
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling more than one Content-Length headers. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145522 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2016-4800
**DESCRIPTION:**Jetty could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a n implementation error in the path normalization mechanism when parsing URL requests. By sending a specially crafted request containing specific escaped characters, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to restricted resources.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/113752 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2020-27223
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when handling a request containing multiple Accept headers with a large number of quality parameters. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust minutes of CPU time.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/197559 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-2047
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the HttpURI class. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to the HttpClient and ProxyServlet/AsyncProxyServlet/AsyncMiddleManServlet wrongly interpreting an authority with no host as one with a host.
