Security Policy

Supported Versions

All stable versions of jetty are actively supported for security issues. Deprecated versions may be supported for serious security issues or on a commercial support basis.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Do not open a public issue to report a security vulnerability. Please send a message to security@webtide.com and we will create a private issue in which the issue can be triaged and handled.

Handling a Vulnerability

The following checklist is used to handle security issues:

  • On receipt of a security report via security@webtide.com or other channels, if it cannot be trivially dismissed (already fixed, known not a problem, etc.), then a Github security advisory is created by project leadership.
  • Copy this list as a markdown in the security advisory for tracking the completion of various tasks.
  • Jetty committers and the reporters are added to the security advisory. Individual committers can also be named in the comments for addition.
  • Initial triage and discussion are performed in the comments of the advisory.
  • If enough information exists to attempt reproduction or fix, then a private repository is created as part of the GitHub security advisory.
  • If the vulnerability cannot be confirmed then close the security advisory, else continue.
  • Generate a CVE score and add it to the advisory description.
  • Identify a CWE Definition and add it to the advisory description.
  • Identify vulnerable version(s), including current and past versions that are affected (e.g. 9.4.0 through 9.4.35, and 10.0.0.alpha1 through 10.0.0.beta3 etc.)
  • Identify and document workaround(s), if applicable, in the comments of the security advisory.
  • Open an Gitlab@Eclipse CVE Assignment to have a CVE allocated.
    The issue should be opened under the "Eclipse Foundation" > "EMO Team" > "EMO" section as a "cve" description, with the "This issue is confidential" checkbox checked.
    Follow the template for what details are necessary to file for a CVE.
  • Once the CVE is allocated update the Security Advisory with the number
  • Build and test fix(es) locally and in CI environment.
  • Merge tests and fix - ensure description does not mention vulnerability directly. Do not merge directly from the security advisory as it can be traced back before publication.
  • Build and stage release candidate.
  • Notify interested parties of pending security advisory and staged release:
    1. Include CVE number, CVE score, and CWE
    2. Include Workarounds
    3. Stress that it is confidential
    4. Advise the security advisory will be published in 2 days unless they indicate they need more time.
  • If testing is OK, then the release is promoted.
  • Interested parties are notified of the availability of release on Maven Central.
  • Publish security advisory and CVE publicly.
  • Edit VERSION.txt and so that the CVE number is now recorded against merged PR.
  • Edit the release(s) on Github to identify CVE number that was addressed/resolved.
  • Update downstream images (Docker, etc.).
  • Update project website with new security entry.
  • Review security processes & completion.
