In a recent Pen test we were alerted to some Jetty defects that are exposed in our version of Meta.
We Started looking to transition from Metabase 0.37.0.1 to 0.40.5 to resolve the issue but it appears that the same outdated version of Jetty (9.4.32 ) is in use in both versions of Metabase.
Request: Upgrade Eclipse Jetty on the Metabase to at least version 9.4.40.v20210413
immediately to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
