The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 10.1.39. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_10.1.39_security-10 advisory.

  - Missing Critical Step in Authentication vulnerability in Apache Tomcat when the JNDIRealm was configured     to authenticate binds using GSSAPI allowed attackers to authenticate without provided the correct     password. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.4, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.36,     from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.100, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.109. Users are     recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.5, 10.1.37 or 9.0.101, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-55957)

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

The version of tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.102-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT9-2025-016 advisory.

    Path Equivalence: 'file.Name' (Internal Dot) leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Information     disclosure and/or malicious content added to uploaded files via write enabled Default Servlet in Apache     Tomcat.

    If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to view       security sensitive files and/or     inject content into those files:- writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)- support     for partial PUT (enabled by default)- a target URL for security sensitive uploads that was a sub-directory     of a target URL for public uploads- attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being     uploaded- the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT

    If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to       perform remote code execution:-     writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default)- support for partial PUT (enabled by     default)- application was using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location-     application included a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.3, 10.1.35, 9.0.99 or later, which fixes the issue.
