GitHub Security Advisory

Jetty invalid URI parsing may produce invalid HttpURI.authority

✓ GitHub Reviewed LOW Has CVE

Advisory Details

### Description
URI use within Jetty's `HttpURI` class can parse invalid URIs such as `http://localhost;/path` as having an authority with a host of `localhost;`.

A URIs of the type `http://localhost;/path` should be interpreted to be either invalid or as `localhost;` to be the userinfo and no host.
However, `HttpURI.host` returns `localhost;` which is definitely wrong.

### Impact
This can lead to errors with Jetty's `HttpClient`, and Jetty's `ProxyServlet` / `AsyncProxyServlet` / `AsyncMiddleManServlet` wrongly interpreting an authority with no host as one with a host.

### Patches
Patched in PR [#8146](https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/8146) for Jetty version 9.4.47.
Patched in PR [#8014](https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/8015) for Jetty versions 10.0.10, and 11.0.10

### Workarounds
None.
