Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-31651)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass rewrite rules.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input to the application and bypass configured rewrite rules.


2) Improper Protection of Alternate Path (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49125)

CWE-ID: CWE-424 - Improper Protection of Alternate Path

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions when using PreResources or PostResources mounted other than at the root of the web application. A remote attacker can bypass configured security rules using a alternate path and gain unauthorized access to the application. 


3) Improper handling of case sensitivity (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-46701)

CWE-ID: CWE-178 - Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling URLs on a case insensitive filesystem with security constraints configured for the <code>pathInfo</code> component of a URL that mapped to the CGI servlet. A remote attacker can bypass imposed security constraints via a specially crafted URL.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-48988)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling multipart requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Improper error handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-31650)

CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient error handling for certain invalid HTTP priority headers. A remote attacker can send a large amount of specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume all available memory, resulting in a denial of service condition.
