According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat listening on the remote host is prior to 6.0.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
The remote Apache Tomcat installation is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the HttpServletResponse.sendError method due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the โmessageโ argument. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a userโs browser session.
(CVE-2008-1232)
A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the host manager application due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the โhostnameโ parameter. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a userโs browser session. (CVE-2008-1947)
A traversal vulnerability exists when using a RequestDispatcher in combination with a servlet or JSP that allows a remote attacker to utilize a specially crafted request parameter to access protected web resources. (CVE-2008-2370)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
