Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2012-5783
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Commons HttpClient, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks, caused by the failure to verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject’s Common Name (CN) field of the X.509 certificate. By persuading a victim to visit a Web site containing a specially-crafted certificate, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to spoof an SSL server.
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/79984 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-29425
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Commons IO could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper input validation by the FileNameUtils.normalize method. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to view arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/199852 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-26048
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out of memory flaw in the HttpServletRequest.getParameter() or HttpServletRequest.getParts() function. By sending a specially crafted multipart request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253356 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

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.
CVSS Base score: 2.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230668 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

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-2023-26049
**DESCRIPTION:**Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw during nonstandard cookie parsing. By sending a specially crafted request to tamper with the cookie parsing mechanism, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain values from other cookies, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 4.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/253355 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2015-5262
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Commons is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure to apply a configured connection during the initial handshake of an HTTPS connection by the HttpClient component. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to accumulate multiple connections and exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/106932 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-13956
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HttpClient could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of malformed authority component in request URIs. By passing request URIs to the library as java.net.URI object, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to pick the wrong target host for request execution.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/189572 for the current score.
