No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2006-2758 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which products are affected by CVE-2006-2758?

Affected package information for CVE-2006-2758 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I patch CVE-2006-2758?

No patch has shipped for CVE-2006-2758 yet — track the jetty jetty advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2006-2758 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every jetty 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.

How do I mitigate CVE-2006-2758 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against CVE-2006-2758?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2006-2758 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2006-2758 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 2 known exploit references for CVE-2006-2758, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB and 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2006-2758?

CVE-2006-2758 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 3.9%, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2006-2758?

CVE-2006-2758 is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2006-2758?

CVE-2006-2758 affects jetty jetty (1 version, e.g. 6.0). Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2006-2758 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2006-2758 was published on June 2, 2006 and was last updated on June 16, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Vendor / appliance

Detect
Inventory every jetty 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-2006-2758 yet — track the jetty 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-2006-2758 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-2006-2758. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
