1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28169)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information..

The vulnerability exists due to a double decoding issue when parsing URI with certain characters. A remote attacker can send requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter and view contents of protected resources within the WEB-INF directory.

Example:

/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml


2) HTTP request smuggling attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7656)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct an HTTP request smuggling attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of HTTP/0.9 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/0.9 request that submits malicious request headers, cause the software and an upstream HTTP agent to misinterpret the boundary of the request and poison the web cache on the system, which could be used to conduct further attacks.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7657)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of queries that do not match the dynamic URL pattern for webapps that use default error handling settings. A remote attacker can send a query that submits malicious input, trigger a java.nio.file.InvalidPathException message, which could allow the attacker to view sensitive information, such as the software installation path.
