Vulnerability discussion

Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client.By not specifying which files can and which files cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc.As a derivative of the Apache Tomcat project, tc Server is a java-based web server. As a result, the main file extension used by tc Server is “*.jsp”. This check ensures that the “*.jsp” file type has been properly mapped to servlets.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep -E '\*\.jsp' -B 2 -A 2 /usr/lib/vmware-casa/casa-webapp/conf/web.xml If the “jsp” and “jspx” file extensions have not been mapped to the JSP servlet, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /usr/lib/vmware-casa/casa-webapp/conf/web.xml. Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. It is the node that contains jsp. Configure the node to look like the code snippet below: jsp *.jsp *.jspx

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
