Description

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

- Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's DIGEST authenticator. If, before
windowSize requests have been made, a client makes a DIGEST authenticated request with a nonceCount on the
upper boundary of the replay window then that request is replayable once only while the associated
nonceCount remains within the replay window. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through
11.0.24, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.57, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.120. The following versions were EOL at
the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, from 7.0.30 through
7.0.109. Other unsupported versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version
11.0.25, 10.1.58 or 9.0.121, which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-65905)

Solution

Update the org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core library and its related packages to version 10.1.58 or later.
