Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Grails Asset Pipeline plugin versions prior to 3.0.4

Description An issue was discovered that allows an attacker to perform directory traversal via a crafted request when a servlet-based application is executed in Jetty. This is due to a classloader vulnerability that can allow a reverse file traversal route in AssetPipelineFilter.groovy or AssetPipelineFilterCore.groovy.

Recommendations For Grails Asset Pipeline plugin versions prior to 3.0.4, update to version 3.0.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AssetPipelineFilter.groovy and AssetPipelineFilterCore.groovy files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
