Vulnerability identifier: #VU125742

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 2.1 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25854

CWE-ID: CWE-601

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect users to an arbitrary URI.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in LoadBalancerDrainingValve when handling a specially crafted URL while a Tomcat node is in the disabled (draining) state. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted URL to redirect users to an arbitrary URI.

Only clustered deployments using LoadBalancerDrainingValve in the disabled (draining) state are affected.
