CVE-2005-3747
CVE-2005-3747 is a Information Exposure vulnerability in mortbay jetty. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security detects and blocks CVE-2005-3747 exploitation at runtime via eBPF exploit-chain detection and L7 egress monitoring, even on unpatched systems.
Unspecified vulnerability in Jetty before 5.1.6 allows remote attackers to obtain source code of JSP pages, possibly involving requests for .jsp files with URL-encoded backslash ("%5C")…
Description
Unspecified vulnerability in Jetty before 5.1.6 allows remote attackers to obtain source code of JSP pages, possibly involving requests for .jsp files with URL-encoded backslash ("%5C") characters. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2006-2758.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every mortbay jetty deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Remediation status
No patch has shipped for CVE-2005-3747 yet — track the mortbay jetty advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2005-3747 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2005-3747. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
