An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2005-2090 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.1.24; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.1.24; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.0.0 up to 5.0.19; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.0.0 up to 5.0.19; no fix listed\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-2005-2090/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2090/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-2090","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2090/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-2090","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tomcat web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can poison web caches, bypass firewalls, and conduct XSS via HTTP request smuggling in Tomcat.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 (Coyote/1.1) and Tomcat 4.1.24 (Coyote/1.0) allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a \"Transfer-Encoding: chunked\" header and a Content-Length header, which causes Tomcat to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka \"HTTP Request Smuggling.\"","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Tomcat Vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning","id":"CVE-2005-2090","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat"],"type":"other","year":"2005"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":50,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2091"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":["4.1.24"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":["4.1.24"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":["5.0.19"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":["5.0.19"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-f2gq-p6qv-ccw4"}],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2089"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-06-30","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Apache Tomcat Path Equivalence","id":"CVE-2025-24813","kev_date_added":"2025-04-01","published":"2025-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Tomcat Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-8735","kev_date_added":"2023-05-12","published":"2017-04-06"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Apache Tomcat Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-12617","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2017-10-03"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Apache Tomcat on Windows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-12615","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2017-09-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache Tomcat Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data","id":"CVE-2026-34486","kev_date_added":"2026-08-04","published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Tomcat: HTTP/2 no-authority bypass of strict SNI validation - CVE-2026-32990 fix incomplete","id":"CVE-2026-65637","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Tomcat: Limited replay attack possible with DIGEST authentication","id":"CVE-2026-65905","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can poison web caches, bypass firewalls, and conduct XSS via HTTP request smuggling in Tomcat.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2090/"}
