Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 80.8% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: resteasy3.0 (Debian:12) 3.0.26-2; org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven) 3.12.0, 4.6.0; apache-commons-collections (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::appstream) 0:3.2.2-10.module+el8.1.0+3366+6dfb954c.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to resteasy3.0 (Debian:12) 3.0.26-2; org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client (Maven) 3.12.0, 4.6.0; apache-commons-collections (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:8::appstream) 0:3.2.2-10.module+el8.1.0+3366+6dfb954c or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in all resteasy 3.x.x versions prior to 3.12.0.Final and all resteasy 4.x.x versions prior to 4.6.0.Final, where an improper input validation results in returning an illegal header that integrates into the server's response. This flaw may result in an injection, which leads to unexpected behavior when the HTTP response is constructed.

No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
