Technical detail
From CISA
OSGeo GeoServer GeoTools contains an improper neutralization of directives in dynamically evaluated code vulnerability due to unsafely evaluating property names as XPath expressions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to conduct remote code execution via specially crafted input.
This vulnerability affects an open-source component, third-party library, or a protocol used by different products. For more information, please see: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/security/advisories/GHSA-6jj6-gm7p-fcvv, https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/4797 ; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-36401
