CVE-2018-17605 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. An issue was discovered in the Asset Pipeline plugin before 3.0.4 for Grails. An attacker can perform directory traversal via a crafted request when a servlet-based application is executed in Jetty, because there is a classloader vulnerability that can allow a reverse file traversal route in AssetPipelineFilter.groovy or AssetPipelineFilterCore.groovy.. EPSS estimates a 2.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
