Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU117681

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55752

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences passed via Rewrite Valve. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP PUT request and write arbitrary files to the server, leading to remote code execution. 

Mitigation

Update the affected package tomcat to the latest version.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

2) Improper Output Neutralization for Logs

EUVDB-ID: #VU117680

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55754

CWE-ID: CWE-117 - Improper Output Neutralization for Logs

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation of ANSI escape sequences in log messages. A remote attacker can use a crafted URL to inject ANSI escape sequences to manipulate the console and the clip-boardand potentially execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability affects Windows installations only.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tomcat to the latest version.

3) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU117682

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61795

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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 errors while processing multipart upload. Depending on JVM settings, application memory usage and application load, it is possible that space for the temporary copies of uploaded parts would be filled faster than GC cleared it, leading to a DoS.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tomcat to the latest version.
