as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2829 advisory.

    Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the examples web application provided with Apache
    Tomcat leads to denial of service.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.1, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.33, from
    9.0.0.M1 through 9.9.97.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.2, 10.1.34 or 9.0.98, which fixes the issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
