Summary
StaticHandler disclosure of classpath resources on Windows when mounted on a wildcard route
Details

Summary

When running vertx web applications that serve files using StaticHandler on Windows Operating Systems and Windows File Systems, if the mount point is a wildcard (*) then an attacker can exfiltrate any class path resource.

Details

When computing the relative path to locate the resource, in case of wildcards, the code:

returns the user input (without validation) as the segment to lookup. Even though checks are performed to avoid escaping the sandbox, given that the input was not sanitized \ are not properly handled and an attacker can build a path that is valid within the classpath.
