Apache Tomcat 9.0.x < 9.0.12 Open Redirect Weakness

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700709

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a open redirect vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is version 9.0.x prior to 9.0.12. It is, therefore, affected by an open redirect vulnerability. When the default servlet returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to /foo/ when the user requested /foo) a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 9.0.12 or later.
