CVE-2018-12536

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-12536 is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting all 9.x versions of Eclipse Jetty Server and related Oracle products. An attacker can craft a malformed URL that, when processed by Jetty's DefaultServlet and default error handler, triggers a Java InvalidPathException. This exception reveals the full server path to the base resource directory in the error response, potentially exposing sensitive directory structures. While the attack complexity is low and no authentication is required, the impact is limited to information disclosure. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
