CVE-2007-5613 has a CVSS score of 5.3/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2007-5613?

CVE-2007-5613 affects the following packages: org.mortbay.jetty:jetty (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2007-5613?

Update org.mortbay.jetty:jetty to 6.1.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2007-5613 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2007-5613 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.mortbay.jetty:jetty, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2007-5613 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is CVE-2007-5613 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2007-5613 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2007-5613?

CVE-2007-5613 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.9%, placing it in the 87th 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.
