Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41284)

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:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in WebDAV LOCK and PROPFIND handling when processing request bodies. A remote attacker can send a large request body to cause a denial of service.

The affected requests are available to unauthenticated users.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41293)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger unexpected application behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in HTTP/2 request header handling when exposing header values through the Servlet API. A remote attacker can send crafted HTTP/2 request headers to trigger unexpected application behavior.

This may affect applications that assume header values exposed through the Servlet API are specification compliant.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-42498)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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


The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose authentication headers to a redirect target host.

The vulnerability exists due to exposure of sensitive information in Tomcat's WebSocket client when following a redirected WebSocket request after authentication. A remote user can trigger a redirect after authentication to disclose authentication headers to a redirect target host.

The issue occurs only if a WebSocket request is redirected after authentication.


4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43515)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

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:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security constraints.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in HTTP method constraint processing when evaluating multiple security constraints for the same extension pattern. A remote attacker can send a request using an improperly constrained HTTP method to bypass security constraints.
