Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-52520)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
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:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to overflow in file upload limit. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24813)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Red
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling file uploads via HTTP PUT requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP PUT request to the server and gain access to sensitive information or even execute arbitrary code.
If all of the following were true, a malicious user was 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 were true, a malicious user was able to perform remote code execution:
- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)
- support for partial PUT (enabled by default)
- application was using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location
- application included a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack
6) Session Fixation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55668)
CWE-ID: CWE-384 - Session Fixation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to session fixation. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted request to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
7) 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.
