CVE-2026-76184

org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-client: org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-http-tools: jetty-client: Information disclosure via improper redirect path normalization

Published Oct 15, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Eclipse Jetty, HttpClient may receive a redirect of the form:



```



/secure/../evil



```



If an attacker is able to control the redirects, then HttpClient matches authentication credentials against `/secure` rather than normalizing the path to `/evil`, and will therefore follow the redirect sending the `Authorization` header for `/secure` to `/evil`.



This also mean that the attacker must have an evil application deployed on the same domain as the target.
