Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.153463
Category:Web Servers
Title:Apache Tomcat Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (Nov 2024) - Windows
Summary:Apache Tomcat is prone to an authentication bypass; vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Apache Tomcat is prone to an authentication bypass
vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
If Tomcat was configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication
(formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the
authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the
authentication may not have failed, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There
are no known Jakarta Authentication components that behave in this way.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache Tomcat versions prior to 9.0.96, 10.0.x through 10.1.30
and 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M26.

Note: While not explicitly mentioned by the vendor (due to the EOL status of these branches) it is
assumed that the whole 10.x branch and all versions prior to 9.x are affected by this flaw. If you
disagree with this assessment and want to accept the risk please create an override for this
result.

Solution:
Update to version 9.0.96, 10.1.31, 11.0.0 or later.

CVSS Score:
6.4
