medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 431686

Description

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

 - Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. For a subset
 of unlikely rewrite rule configurations, it was possible for a specially crafted request to bypass some
 rewrite rules. If those rewrite rules effectively enforced security constraints, those constraints could
 be bypassed. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.5, from 10.1.0-M1 through
 10.1.39, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.102. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created
 but are known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users
 are recommended to upgrade to version [FIXED_VERSION], which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-31651)
