Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2002-0936 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apache Tomcat. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0936/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0936/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-0936","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0936/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-0936","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ppj6-9ppm-3h56"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tomcat JSP engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious JSP page can crash the Tomcat web server by invoking a specific printer job method with null arguments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Java Server Pages (JSP) engine in Tomcat allows web page owners to cause a denial of service (engine crash) on the web server via a JSP page that calls WPrinterJob().pageSetup(null,null).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2002-06-12","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-06-12","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21534","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat 3/4 - JSP Engine Denial of Service"},{"date":"2026-03-06T22:21:31Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/om4rsallam/Full-Attack-Lifecycle-Simulation-on-Metasploitable","stars":0,"title":"Full-cycle Pentest on Metasploitable (VMware/Kali).
