    Summary: Directory exposure in jetty

    Details: ### Impact If the `${jetty.base}` directory or the `${jetty.base}/webapps` directory is a symlink (soft link in Linux), the contents of the `${jetty.base}/webapps` directory may be deployed as a static web application, exposing the content of the directory for download. For example, the problem manifests in the following `${jetty.base}`: ```$ tree demo-base/ demo-base/ ├── etc ├── lib ├── resources ├── start.d ├── deploy │   └── async-rest.war └── webapps -> deploy ``` ### Workarounds Do not use a symlink
