CWE-770  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade io.undertow:undertow-core to version 2.4.0.Beta1 or higher.

Overview

io.undertow:undertow-core is a Java web server based on non-blocking IO.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the MultiPartParserDefinition multipart parsing process in MultiPartParserDefinition.java. An attacker can cause multipart/form-data content from an HTTP GET request to be parsed and prematurely written to disk by sending a request that triggers parameter parsing, such as getParameterMap(), leading to resource exhaustion or unwanted persistence of attacker-controlled data.

Notes

  • The issue manifests when an application built on Undertow invokes parameter-parsing methods on a GET request while multipart/form-data content is present.
