EPSS

Percentile

98.8%

The version of tomcat7 installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0.109-1.42. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1738 advisory.

  • When using a VirtualDirContext with Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.80 it was possible to bypass security constraints and/or view the source code of JSPs for resources served by the VirtualDirContext using a specially crafted request. (CVE-2017-12616)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
