Apache Tomcat 10.1.0.M1 < 10.1.41

medium Nessus Plugin ID 237499

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.41. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_10.1.41_security-10 advisory.

 - Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's GCI servlet allows security constraint bypass of security constraints that apply to the pathInfo component of a URI mapped to the CGI servlet. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.6, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.40, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.104. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.7, 10.1.41 or 9.0.105, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-46701)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 10.1.41 or later.
