Apache Tomcat 10.1.0.M1 < 10.1.2

high Nessus Plugin ID 169460

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_10.1.2_security-10 advisory.

 - The JsonErrorReportValve in Apache Tomcat 8.5.83, 9.0.40 to 9.0.68 and 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.1 did not escape the type, message or description values. In some circumstances these are constructed from user provided data and it was therefore possible for users to supply values that invalidated or manipulated the JSON output. (CVE-2022-45143)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 10.1.2 or later.
