According to its self-reported version number, the remote host is running a vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat. Affected versions permit a web application to replace the XML parser used to process the XML and TLD files of other applications. This could allow a malicious web app to read or modify β€˜web.xml’, β€˜context.xml’, or TLD files of arbitrary web applications.
