Description
In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.21] and [5.0.0, 5.0.4], when "directory listing" is enabled, file and directory names are inserted into generated HTML without proper escaping in the href, title, and link attributes. An attacker who can create or rename files or directories within a served path can craft filenames containing malicious script or HTML content, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) that executes in the context of users viewing the affected directory listing.
Problem types
CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting')
CWE-80 Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS)
Product status
4.0.0 (maven) before 4.5.22
5.0.0 (maven) before 5.0.5
