CVE-2024-9823: Jetty DOS vulnerability on DosFilter
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- 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: 0.94% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 60.8% 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.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Eclipse Foundation Jetty 10.0.18, 11.0.18, 9.4.54; Eclipse Jetty Jetty 12.0.3.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.3, NVD 7.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Eclipse Foundation Jetty 10.0.18, 11.0.18, 9.4.54; Eclipse Jetty Jetty 12.0.3 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
There exists a security vulnerability in Jetty's DosFilter which can be exploited by unauthorized users to cause remote denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the server using DosFilter. By repeatedly sending crafted requests, attackers can trigger OutofMemory errors and exhaust the server's memory finally.
