What is CVE-2018-12536?

A file path disclosure vulnerability exists in the Eclipse Jetty Server across all 9.x versions due to improper error handling of bad queries. When a malformed request that does not conform to a dynamic URL pattern is processed by the DefaultServlet, it may trigger a java.nio.file.InvalidPathException. If the default error handler processes this exception, the complete server path is disclosed in the error response, exposing sensitive information about the server's structure to potential attackers.

Affected Version(s)

Eclipse Jetty <= 9.2.0

Eclipse Jetty 9.3.0

Eclipse Jetty < 9.3.24
