Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 < 10.0.23 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 8.5.50 to 8.5.81, 9.0.30 to 9.0.64, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.22 or 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M16. It is, therefore, affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The Form authentication example in the examples web application displayed user provided data without filtering, exposing a XSS vulnerability.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 10.0.23 or later.
