It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-176 advisory.

    The simplified implementation of blocking reads and writes introduced in Tomcat 10 and back-ported to     Tomcat 9.0.47 onwards exposed a long standing (but extremely hard to trigger) concurrency bug in Apache     Tomcat 10.1.0 to 10.1.0-M12, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.18, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.60 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.77 that could cause     client connections to share an Http11Processor instance resulting in responses, or part responses, to be     received by the wrong client. (CVE-2021-43980)

    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)

    When using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the     X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https, session cookies created by Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.0.-M2,     10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.5, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.71 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.85 did not include the secure attribute. This     could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel. (CVE-2023-28708)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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