CVE-2025-11965 Details
Description
In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.21] and [5.0.0, 5.0.4], a StaticHandler configuration for restricting access to hidden files fails to restrict access to hidden directories, allowing unauthorized users to retrieve files within them (e.g. '.git/config').
A vulnerability exists in Eclipse Vert.x versions 4.0.0 prior to 4.5.21 and 5.0.0 prior to 5.0.4. The issue arises in the StaticHandler component, where the configuration intended to block access to hidden files does not effectively restrict access to hidden directories. This flaw allows unauthorized users to access files within these directories, such as '.git/config', potentially leading to the exposure of sensitive information.
Users can upgrade to Eclipse Vert.x versions 4.5.22 or 5.0.5, both of which address this vulnerability.
