Cross-site scripting via unescaped request URI
Published Jul 7, 2026 · Updated Jul 7, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Jastow on affected Red Hat platforms allows remote attackers to inject script through a crafted request URI. Jastow fails to neutralize the request URI before it reaches servlet error-page output, preserving browser-executable characters. Exploitation requires embedded Undertow with ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CHARACTERS_IN_URL enabled and setEscapeErrorMessage(true).
