If all of the following are true, a malicious user is able to view security sensitive files
and/or inject content into those files:
- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
- support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
- a target URL for security sensitive uploads that is a sub-directory of a target URL for public
uploads
- attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded
- the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT
If all of the following are true, a malicious user is able to perform remote code execution:
- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
- support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
- application is using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location
- application includes a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack");
