CVE-2021-28163

If the ${jetty.base} directory or the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory is a symlink the contents of the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory may be deployed as a static web application, exposing the content of the directory for download. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

In OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), the hive/presto/hadoop components that comprise the OCP metering stack, ship the vulnerable version of jetty. Since the release of OCP 4.6, the metering product has been deprecated [1], hence the affected components are marked as wontfix. This may be fixed in the future.
