When running on Windows with enableCmdLineArguments enabled, the CGI
Servlet in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to
7.0.93 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to a bug in the way the
JRE passes command line arguments to Windows. The CGI Servlet is disabled
by default. The CGI option enableCmdLineArguments is disable by default in
Tomcat 9.0.x (and will be disabled by default in all versions in response
to this vulnerability). For a detailed explanation of the JRE behaviour,
see Markus Wulftange’s blog
(https://codewhitesec.blogspot.com/2016/02/java-and-command-line-injections-in-windows.html)
and this archived MSDN blog
(https://web.archive.org/web/20161228144344/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/).
