SCA: security update for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-openid (GHSA-pwh8-58vv-vw48)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417745
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Versions 9.4.21 through 9.4.51, 10.0.15, and 11.0.15
are vulnerable to weak authentication. If a Jetty `OpenIdAuthenticator` uses the optional nested
`LoginService`, and that `LoginService` decides to revoke an already authenticated user, then the current
request will still treat the user as authenticated. The authentication is then cleared from the session
and subsequent requests will not be treated as authenticated. So a request on a previously authenticated
session could be allowed to bypass authentication after it had been rejected by the `LoginService`. This
impacts usages of the jetty-openid which have configured a nested `LoginService` and where that
`LoginService` will is capable of rejecting previously authenticated users. Versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, and
11.0.16 have a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-41900)
