QID 982008

QID 982008: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (GHSA-jjpq-gp5q-8q6w)

The SSI printenv command in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 echoes user provided data without escaping and is, therefore, vulnerable to XSS. SSI is disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
