"The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities");
script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 11.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_11.0.11_security-11 advisory.
- Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. The fix for bug 60013 introduced a regression
where the rewritten URL was normalized before it was decoded. This introduced the possibility that, for
rewrite rules that rewrite query parameters to the URL, an attacker could manipulate the request URI to
bypass security constraints including the protection for /WEB-INF/ and /META-INF/. If PUT requests were
also enabled then malicious files could be uploaded leading to remote code execution. PUT requests are
normally limited to trusted users and it is considered unlikely that PUT requests would be enabled in
conjunction with a rewrite that manipulated the URI. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1
through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.0.M11 through 9.0.108. The following versions
were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.6 though 8.5.100. Other, older,
EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.11 or later, 10.1.45
or later or 9.0.109 or later, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-55752)
- Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Tomcat did
not escape ANSI escape sequences in log messages. If Tomcat was running in a console on a Windows
operating system, and the console supported ANSI escape sequences, it was possible for an attacker to use
a specially crafted URL to inject ANSI escape sequences to manipulate the console and the clipboard and
attempt to trick an administrator into running an attacker controlled command. While no attack vector was
found, it may have been possible to mount this attack on other operating systems. This issue affects
Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.40 through
9.0.108. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected:
8.5.60 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade
to version 11.0.11 or later, 10.1.45 or later or 9.0.109 or later, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-55754)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
