medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422816

Description

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

 - In Eclipse Jetty Server, all 9.x versions, on webapps deployed using default Error Handling, when an
 intentionally bad query arrives that doesn't match a dynamic url-pattern, and is eventually handled by the
 DefaultServlet's static file serving, the bad characters can trigger a java.nio.file.InvalidPathException
 which includes the full path to the base resource directory that the DefaultServlet and/or webapp is
 using. If this InvalidPathException is then handled by the default Error Handler, the InvalidPathException
 message is included in the error response, revealing the full server path to the requesting system.
