When ErrorHandler
renders an exception HTML page, it uses un-escaped properties from the related Exception class to render the stacktrace. The security issue comes from the fact that the stacktraces were also displayed in non-debug
environments.
The ErrorHandler
class now escapes all properties coming from the related Exception, and the stacktrace is not displayed anymore in non-debug
environments.
The patches for this issue are available here and here for branch 4.4.
I would like to thank Luka Sikic for reporting & Yonel Ceruto and JΓ©rΓ©my DerussΓ© for fixing the issue.
