Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 < 10.1.56 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115282

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 < 10.1.56 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.0-M1 prior to 9.0.119, 10.1.0-M1 prior to 10.1.56 or 11.0.0-M1 prior to 11.0.23. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - If security constraints were specified for the default servlet, any method or method omission configured as part of the constraint was ignored. (CVE-2026-55956)

 - Contrary to the documentation, the EncryptInterceptor was not protected against replay attacks. (CVE-2026-55955)

 - Logic errors in the effective web.xml generation meant that neither special roles nor empty authorization constraints were included in the logged effective web.xml. (CVE-2026-55276)

 - If an FFM connector was configured with invalid CRLs, the invalid CRLs were ignored meaning invalid certificates could be accepted. (CVE-2026-53434)

 - If a request matched the first condition in an OR chain in the RewriteValve, subsequent non-OR conditions were skipped and the rewrite succeeded. (CVE-2026-53404)

 - The use of wildcard property mapping resulted in some properties that were intended to be internal only being exposed to clients, allowing an XSS attack. (CVE-2026-50229)

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 10.1.56 or later.
