{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050","details":"In Eclipse Jetty, the Digest authentication server-side component uses ISO-8859-1 to encode the password as bytes.    This was done because the initial specification for HTTP did not specify explicitly a charset, and it was assumed to be ISO-8859-1 for historical reasons.    If the password contains characters that cannot be represented in ISO-8859-1, they are silently replaced by `?`. This happens with passwords that contain Chinese, Cyrillic or Greek characters, for example: `αβ123` converts to `??123`.    An attacker can send a request with a digest `Authorization` header crafted with a password made of only `?` characters; the server would match any password of the same length that contains non-ISO-8859-1 characters.    Recent HTTP Digest [RFC-7616](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7616) supports a `charset` parameters that defaults to UTF-8 that allows for correct encoding/decoding of passwords.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:06:15.853449113Z","published":"2026-08-04T11:22:43.883Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-10050"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-10050"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"jetty12","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/jetty12?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["12.0.17-3","12.0.17-3.1","12.0.17-3.1~deb13u1","12.0.32-1","12.0.32-2","12.0.33-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050.json"}},{"package":{"name":"jetty12","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/jetty12?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["12.0.17-3","12.0.17-3.1","12.0.17-3.1~deb13u1","12.0.32-1","12.0.32-2","12.0.33-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050.json"}},{"package":{"name":"jetty9","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/jetty9?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.4.50-4","9.4.50-4+deb12u1","9.4.50-4+deb12u2","9.4.50-4+deb12u3","9.4.51-1","9.4.51-2","9.4.52-1","9.4.53-1","9.4.54-1","9.4.55-1","9.4.56-1","9.4.57-0+deb12u1","9.4.57-1","9.4.57-1.1","9.4.57-1.1~deb12u1","9.4.57-1.1~deb13u1","9.4.58-1","9.4.58-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050.json"}},{"package":{"name":"jetty9","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/jetty9?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.4.57-1","9.4.57-1.1","9.4.57-1.1~deb12u1","9.4.57-1.1~deb13u1","9.4.58-1","9.4.58-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050.json"}},{"package":{"name":"jetty9","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/jetty9?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["9.4.57-1","9.4.57-1.1","9.4.57-1.1~deb12u1","9.4.57-1.1~deb13u1","9.4.58-1","9.4.58-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-10050.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"}]}
