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-2007-5461 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.0.6; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.0.6; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.5.0 up to 5.5.25; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.5.0 up to 5.5.25; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0 up to 6.0.14; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0 up to 6.0.14; 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-2007-5461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5461/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5461","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v5p2-vg3c-pmrr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can read arbitrary files via WebDAV requests in Apache Tomcat under specific configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Absolute path traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0, 5.0.0, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, under certain configurations, allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a WebDAV write request that specifies an entity with a SYSTEM tag.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2007-10-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2007-10-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"4530","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat -
