"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 11.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_11.0.8_security-11 advisory.
- Untrusted Search Path vulnerability in Apache Tomcat installer for Windows. During installation, the
Tomcat installer for Windows used icacls.exe without specifying a full path. This issue affects Apache
Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.23 through 9.0.105. The
following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.0 through
8.5.100 and 7.0.95 through 7.0.109. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or
9.0.106, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-49124)
- Session Fixation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat via rewrite valve. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from
11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.105. Older, EOL
versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or 9.0.106,
which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-55668)
- Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. When using
PreResources or PostResources mounted other than at the root of the web application, it was possible to
access those resources via an unexpected path. That path was likely not to be protected by the same
security constraints as the expected path, allowing those security constraints to be bypassed. This issue
affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.0.M1
through 9.0.105. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be
affected: 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to
upgrade to version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or 9.0.106, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-49125)
- Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects
Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.0.M1 through
9.0.105. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected:
8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to
version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or 9.0.106, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-48988)
- Allocation of resources for multipart headers with insufficient limits enabled a DoS vulnerability in
Apache Commons FileUpload. This issue affects Apache Commons FileUpload: from 1.0 before 1.6; from
2.0.0-M1 before 2.0.0-M4. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 1.6 or 2.0.0-M4, which fix the
issue. (CVE-2025-48976)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
