A fix for this has been backported by the author in jetty/jetty.project#12532 to 9.4.x feature branch.
It has also been released in jetty-9.4.57.v20241219 as can be seen in the commit jetty/jetty.project@db8bb7a

@venkatesh2090 no there is no fix for that vulnerability outside of Jetty 12.x
All other Jetty versions are EOL.
This includes Jetty 9, Jetty 10, Jetty 11.

Also, this CVE is managed by the Eclipse CNA, not Github.
Fixing this here is incorrect.

See past closed efforts to fix this.

That was a sponsored backport of a narrowed subset of the original CVE fix from Jetty 12 back to Jetty 9.
That is why Jetty 9 is not listed on this CVE or Vulnerability.

Ideally, Github should flag Jetty 9 / Jetty 10 / Jetty 11 as EOL, like the CVE authority does.
But the Github advisory database doesn't contain that tag/flag/indicator.
