Apache Tomcat 7.0.25 < 7.0.90 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112305

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 7.0.25 < 7.0.90 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is at least 7.0.25 and prior to 7.0.90. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw exists in WebSocket client because host name verification is missing

- A flaw exists in CORS filter due to insecure defaults

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 7.0.90 or later.
