The security issue is caused due to an error in enforcing the "@ServletSecurity" annotations when loading servlets. This can be exploited to e.g. bypass the security constraints specified via the annotations and disclose certain information when the servlet is loaded for the first time. The security issue is reported in versions 7.0.12 through 7.0.13. SOLUTION: Update to version 7.0.14. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
