Discussion

Apache Tomcat JK Connector CVE-2018-11759 Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Apache Tomcat JK Connector is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Remote attackers may use a specially crafted request with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to retrieve arbitrary files from the affected system in the context of the application. Information obtained could aid in further attacks.

Apache Tomcat JK Connector 1.2.0 through 1.2.44 are vulnerable.
