RHSA-2026:32960
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-06-29 09:02 - Updated: 2026-06-30 15:09A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. This vulnerability, known as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), allows a remote attacker to inject malicious scripts into the 'number guess example' web page. When other users view the compromised page, these scripts can execute in their web browsers. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or allow an attacker to alter the content of the website.
A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat's rewrite valve. This vulnerability involves an incorrect control flow implementation where, during the processing of rewrite rules, if the first condition in an OR chain matched, subsequent non-OR conditions were unexpectedly skipped. This can lead to unintended rule processing, potentially allowing for security bypasses or unauthorized access due to misapplied configurations.
A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. When configuring Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for a FFM (presumably a specific type of connector), the system fails to detect and act upon an error condition. This oversight could lead to unexpected behavior or a security bypass, as the intended security controls might not be properly enforced.
CWE-390 - Detection of Error Condition Without ActionA flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. Due to an always-incorrect control flow implementation, special roles and empty authorization constraints were not accurately included when the effective web.xml configuration was logged. This could lead to a security oversight where administrators might misinterpret the actual authorization constraints, potentially impacting the security posture of the application.
CWE-778 - Insufficient LoggingA flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. An improper authentication vulnerability in the EncryptionInterceptor component allows a remote attacker to perform a replay attack. This could lead to unauthorized access or manipulation of data within the cluster component.

An improper authentication vulnerability allows a replay attack against encrypted cluster messages. Exploitation requires the EncryptionInterceptor to be configured for Tomcat clustering, which is a non-default configuration, and the attacker must have access to the cluster network to capture and replay messages. Apache rates this vulnerability as Low severity. Red Hat has corrected the impact from IMPORTANT to MODERATE \u2014 the original AI-Bot CVSS of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L) incorrectly scored this as internet-facing with low complexity, when Tribes cluster traffic is adjacent-network (AV:A) and requires non-default clustering configuration (AC:H).
