Apache Tomcat JK Connector 1.2.x < 1.2.46 Access Control Bypass

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 98522

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat JK Connector 1.2.x < 1.2.46 Access Control Bypass

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat JK Connector (mod_jk) installed on the remote host is version 1.2.x prior to 1.2.46. It is, therefore, affected by an access control bypass vulnerability due to improper handling of the Apache web server specific code that normalised the requested path before matching it to the URI-worker map.

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 JK Connector version 1.2.46 or later.
