QID 995580

Date Published: 2023-10-17

QID 995580: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4)

Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 (Coyote/1.1) and Tomcat 4.1.24 (Coyote/1.0) allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header, which causes Tomcat to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."

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 Medium - 4.3 severity.
