Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls in Apache Tomcat - CVE-2024-50379

Vulnerability identifier: #VU101814

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 9.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50379

CWE-ID: CWE-264

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: Public exploit is available

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

The vulnerability exists due to missing access restrictions to the default servlet. If the default servlet is write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) for a case insensitive file system, concurrent read and upload under load of the same file can bypass Tomcat's case sensitivity checks and cause an uploaded file to be treated as a JSP leading to remote code execution.
