✅ Remediation
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: No mitigation is currently available that meets Red Hat Product Security’s standards for usability, deployment, applicability, or stability. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability. To reduced the risk, by disabling or strictly limiting the use of HTTP PUT requests to trusted, authenticated users only. Additionally, administrators should review and adjust URL rewrite rules to ensure they do not manipulate request paths in ways that could expose protected directories such as /WEB-INF/ or /META-INF/. Implementing strict access controls and monitoring for unexpected rewrite or upload behavior can further minimize potential exploitation.
