CVE-2026-8384
Eclipse Jetty 12.0.0 – 12.0.35
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-8384 is a medium-severity Use of Non-Canonical URL Paths for Authorization Decisions (CWE-647) vulnerability in Eclipse Jetty. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 25th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
In Eclipse Jetty, an HTTP URI of this form: /public;/../admin/secret.txt results in an unresolved path of: /public/../admin/secret.txt instead of the expected: /admin/secret.txt Jetty itself is not affected, as it will not serve the secret.txt file because it will not pass…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Proper enforcement of authorization decisions requires canonical URL normalization before policy evaluation, directly stopping non-canonical bypasses.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforcing well-defined authorization policies prevents URL canonicalization bypasses when path handling is included in the implementation.

Security testing can discover non-canonical URL bypasses but does not itself implement the preventive control.
Defining application security requirements that mandate canonical URL handling and authorization checks mitigates the weakness at design time.
Secure-coding standards that require URL canonicalization and safe path handling eliminate the root cause of the weakness.
Enforcing strict access-control rules on canonical resource identifiers directly prevents authorization bypass via non-canonical URLs.
