Summary
A flaw was found in Jastow. Jastow is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack.
If using a set of combined configuration to allow unescaped characters in URL with embedded Undertow and Jastow, a server might be vulnerable to improper input handling. Exploitation requires a specific, non-default configuration, limiting its applicability in typical deployments.
Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N). Weakness: CWE-79.

Mitigation checklist
- It is possible to contruct successful attack vector if and only if customer or client is using embedded Undertow and Jastow together in their application and the following conditions are met: * Undertow was configured with UndertowOptions.ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS_IN_URL set to 'true' value * DeploymentInfo configured with setEscapeErrorMessage(true) method was passed to Undertow's Servlet Container instance
