Summary
Eclipse Jetty versions 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. When a server replies with 407 Proxy Authentication Required, the HttpClient wrongly treats it as coming from the forward proxy and resends the request with the Proxy-Authentication header (CWE-200). The server receives the proxy credentials, and a remote server that sends the 407 needs no privileges or user interaction to obtain them.

Description from the CNA
When Jetty's `HttpClient` make a request to a server through a forward proxy, the server may reply with a 407 (Proxy Authentication Required). The client mistakenly interprets the 407 as coming from the proxy, so it re-sends the request with the `Proxy-Authentication` header, which arrives to the server, that now has access to the proxy credentials.
