SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core, org.apache.tomcat:tomcat, org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (GHSA-fpj8-gq4v-p354)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437867

Description

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

 - Improper Input Validation vulnerability. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.14,
 from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.49, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.112. 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. Older EOL versions are not
 affected. Tomcat did not validate that the host name provided via the SNI extension was the same as the
 host name provided in the HTTP host header field. If Tomcat was configured with more than one virtual host
 and the TLS configuration for one of those hosts did not require client certificate authentication but
 another one did, it was possible for a client to bypass the client certificate authentication by sending
 different host names in the SNI extension and the HTTP host header field. The vulnerability only applies
 if client certificate authentication is only enforced at the Connector. It does not apply if client
 certificate authentication is enforced at the web application. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
 11.0.15 or later, 10.1.50 or later or 9.0.113 or later, which fix the issue. (CVE-2025-66614)

Solution

Update the org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core library and its related packages to version 10.1.50 or later.
