{"id":"CVE-2023-36479","aliases":["GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-36479","summary":"Jetty vulnerable to errant command quoting in CGI Servlet","details":"Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.","published":"2023-09-15T18:37:35.948Z","modified":"2026-07-15T02:08:51.676413272Z","cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"9.4.52"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"10.0.16"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"11.0.16"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee10:jetty-ee10-servlets","fixedVersion":"12.0.0-beta2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee9:jetty-ee9-servlets","fixedVersion":"12.0.0-beta2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee8:jetty-ee8-servlets","fixedVersion":"12.0.0-beta2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9516","label":"eclipse/jetty.project#9516"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/09/msg00039.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/36xxx/CVE-2023-36479.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-36479"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5507"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9516"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9888"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9889"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T02:08:51.676413272Z"}}
