DescriptionCVE.org

In Eclipse Jetty, a first HTTP/1.1 request with trailers causes the server to retain the trailers in subsequent requests performed over the same connection. Subsequent request that do not have trailers report the trailers of the first request. Subsequent request that do have trailers report the union of trailers of the first request and the current request.

AnalysisAI

HTTP/1.1 trailer leakage in Eclipse Jetty allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to read trailer headers from a previous request when sharing a persistent connection with another party. Trailers sent in an initial request are incorrectly retained in the server's connection state, causing them to bleed into all subsequent requests on the same keep-alive connection - either appended wholesale (if the later request has no trailers) or merged with the later request's own trailers. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding permits 'trailers' - additional header fields appended after the message body. These are defined in RFC 7230 and are commonly used to transmit checksums, digital signatures, or authentication tokens computed over the body. The affected component is Eclipse Jetty's HTTP/1.1 connection handler (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:eclipse_foundation:eclipse_jetty:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which manages persistent (keep-alive) connections. The root cause is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor): Jetty fails to clear the trailer state between requests on the same connection, causing cross-request data exposure. This is most severe in proxy or gateway deployments where multiple clients' requests are multiplexed over shared backend connections, enabling cross-user trailer leakage.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Eclipse Jetty to a patched release once one is confirmed by the Eclipse Foundation - the upstream fix reference at https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignment/-/work_items/119 should be monitored for a specific target version, as no exact patch version is confirmed in available data at time of analysis. As a compensating control, applications should avoid placing sensitive or security-relevant values (authentication tokens, HMAC signatures, session identifiers) in HTTP/1.1 trailers until a patch is applied; this eliminates the meaningful confidentiality exposure even if the bug persists. Operators running Jetty behind a reverse proxy (e.g., nginx, HAProxy) should evaluate whether connection pooling to Jetty backends is enabled; disabling persistent backend connections (keep-alive off toward Jetty) eliminates the cross-request leakage path at the cost of increased connection overhead. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 multiplexing semantics differ and are not described as affected by this CVE.
