Improper Input Validation in Eclipse Hawkbit REST API

CVE-2020-27219

What is CVE-2020-27219?

In all versions of Eclipse Hawkbit prior to 0.3.0M7, a flaw exists in the handling of HTTP 404 (Not Found) responses generated by its REST API. When a POST request is made to a non-existing resource, the response may unintentionally reveal the full URL path as an unescaped string. This leak of unsafe characters poses a risk that could be exploited by malicious actors to potentially inject harmful payloads or to conduct further targeted attacks.
