Date Published: 2023-09-25

QID 995389: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli (GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2)

The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15 does not restrict certain permissions for web applications, which allows attackers to modify logging configuration options and overwrite arbitrary files, as demonstrated by changing the (1) level, (2) directory, and (3) prefix attributes in the org.apache.juli.FileHandler handler.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 8.6 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 6.4 severity.
