{"cve":"CVE-2023-36479","nvd":{"published":"2023-09-15T19:15:08.387","modified":"2026-06-17T06:06:21.390","status":"Analyzed","description":"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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":3.1},"cwes":["CWE-149"],"references":["https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9516","https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9888","https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9889","https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/09/msg00039.html"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","eclipse:jetty"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:24.235896374+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-36479","score":0.01162,"percentile":0.67208,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j","summary":"Jetty vulnerable to errant command quoting in CGI Servlet","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:03.467017219Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets","ranges":[">=9.0.0 <9.4.52"],"fixed":["9.4.52"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets","ranges":[">=10.0.0 <10.0.16"],"fixed":["10.0.16"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets","ranges":[">=11.0.0 <11.0.16"],"fixed":["11.0.16"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee10:jetty-ee10-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty.ee10/jetty-ee10-servlets","ranges":["<12.0.0-beta2"],"fixed":["12.0.0-beta2"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee9:jetty-ee9-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty.ee9/jetty-ee9-servlets","ranges":["<12.0.0-beta2"],"fixed":["12.0.0-beta2"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty.ee8:jetty-ee8-servlets","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty.ee8/jetty-ee8-servlets","ranges":["<12.0.0-beta2"],"fixed":["12.0.0-beta2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
