SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core, org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (GHSA-wc4r-xq3c-5cf3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 431687

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. When using
 PreResources or PostResources mounted other than at the root of the web application, it was possible to
 access those resources via an unexpected path. That path was likely not to be protected by the same
 security constraints as the expected path, allowing those security constraints to be bypassed. This issue
 affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.0.M1
 through 9.0.105. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be
 affected: 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to
 upgrade to version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or 9.0.106, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-49125)
