medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418772

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In Undertow 2.x before 2.0.0.Alpha2, 1.4.x before 1.4.17.Final, and 1.3.x before 1.3.31.Final, it was
found that the fix for CVE-2017-2666 was incomplete and invalid characters are still allowed in the query
string and path parameters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the
invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By
manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain
sensitive information from requests other than their own. (CVE-2017-7559)
