Summary
Eclipse Jetty 9.4.0 through 9.4.64, 10.0.0 through 10.0.32, 11.0.0 through 11.0.32, 12.0.0 through 12.0.38 and 12.1.0 through 12.1.12 are affected. TryPathsHandler and TryFilesFilter forward requests to templated URIs without escaping reserved query characters in the request path, which is CWE-74. A remote unauthenticated attacker can inject extra query parameters into the forwarded request.

Description from the CNA
In Eclipse Jetty, `TryPathsHandler` and `TryFilesFilter` can be configured to forward requests to template URIs such as `index?p=$path`, where `$path` is the request path in context. However, URI paths may contain characters that are reserved in URI queries so that a path of `/s&a=1` when applied to the template becomes `index?p=/s&a=1`, which is interpreted as 2 query parameters: `p=/s` and `a=1`, rather than just one query parameter `p` whose value is `/s&a=1`.
