An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-4703 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions up to 4.0.3; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions up to 4.0.3; 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-2005-4703/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4703/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-4703","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4703/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-4703","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x89r-2wjq-mj7x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive path information from Apache Tomcat on Windows by requesting files with MS-DOS device names.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Apache Tomcat 4.0.3, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a request for a file that contains an MS-DOS device name such as lpt9, which leaks the pathname in an error message, as demonstrated by lpt9.xtp using Nikto.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2005-10-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-10-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31551","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat 4.0.3 - Requests Containing MS-DOS Device Names Information Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Apache Tomcat Discloses MS-DOS Pathname","id":"CVE-2005-4703","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2005"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4704"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["4.0.3"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x89r-2wjq-mj7x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["4.0.3"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-x89r-2wjq-mj7x"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4702"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-02-01","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive path information from Apache Tomcat on Windows by requesting files with MS-DOS device names.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4703/"}
