Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-5342 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli (Maven): affected from 5.5.9 up to 5.5.25; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli (Maven): affected from 5.5.9 up to 5.5.25; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli (Maven): affected from 6.0.0 up to 6.0.15; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli (Maven): affected from 6.0.0 up to 6.0.15; 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-2007-5342/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5342/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5342","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5342/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5342","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can modify logging configurations and overwrite arbitrary files due to insufficient permission restrictions in the default JULI policy.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The default catalina.policy in the JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15 does not restrict certain permissions for web applications, which allows attackers to modify logging configuration options and overwrite arbitrary files, as demonstrated by changing the (1) level, (2) directory, and (3) prefix attributes in the org.apache.juli.FileHandler handler.","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":"JULI logging component in Apache Tomcat does not restrict certain permissions for web applications","id":"CVE-2007-5342","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2007"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":50,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2007-5343"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["5.5.9"],"last_affected":["5.5.25"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["5.5.9"],"last_affected":["5.5.25"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-juli","source":"GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":["6.0.15"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":["6.0.15"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-juli","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-juli","source":"GHSA-w65j-cmqc-37p2"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5341"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-12-27","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"Attackers can modify logging configurations and overwrite arbitrary files due to insufficient permission restrictions in the default JULI policy.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5342/"}
