- Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') vulnerability in Apache
Tomcat via invalid chunk extension. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.18, from
10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.52, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.115, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, from 7.0.0 through
7.0.109. Other, unsupported versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
11.0.20, 10.1.52 or 9.0.116, which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-24880)
- Occasional URL redirection to untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability in Apache Tomcat via the
LoadBalancerDrainingValve. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.18, from
10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.52, from 9.0.0.M23 through 9.0.115, from 8.5.30 through 8.5.100. Other, unsupported

from 9.0.40 through 9.0.116. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.21, 10.1.54 or 9.0.117 ,
which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-34483)
- Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's rewrite valve meant that if
the first condition in an OR chain matched, subsequent non-OR conditions were skipped. This issue affects
Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.55, from 9.0.0.M1 through
9.0.118, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other versions that have reached end of support may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.23, 10.1.56 or 9.0.119, which fix the issue.
