Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.34 Open Redirect

medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112316

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.34 Open Redirect

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 or 7.0.23 to 7.0.90. It is, therefore, affected by an open redirect vulnerability when the default servlet returned a redirect to a directory.

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 8.5.34 or later.
