DescriptionCVE.org

In Eclipse Jetty, the class JASPIAuthenticator initiates the authentication checks, which set two ThreadLocal variable.

Upon returning from the initial checks, there are conditions that cause an early return from the JASPIAuthenticator code without clearing those ThreadLocals.

A subsequent request using the same thread inherits the ThreadLocal values, leading to a broken access control and privilege escalation.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Eclipse Jetty 9.4.0-12.1.7 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication via ThreadLocal variable pollution in JASPIAuthenticator. Early returns from authentication checks fail to clear ThreadLocal values, causing subsequent requests on the same thread to inherit elevated privileges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires Eclipse Jetty with JASPI (Java Authentication and Authorization Service Provider Interface) authentication enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N indicates network-accessible exploitation requiring no authentication or user interaction, but with high attack complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends a specially crafted authentication request to a Jetty server using JASPIC authentication that triggers an early return from JASPIAuthenticator without clearing ThreadLocal state. Immediately after, the attacker or another user sends a legitimate request that happens to be processed by the same pooled thread. …
Remediation Upgrade to patched Eclipse Jetty versions that properly clear ThreadLocal variables in all JASPIAuthenticator code paths. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Eclipse Jetty deployments and identify instances running versions 9.4.0-12.1.7; document thread pool configurations and authentication mechanisms in use. …
