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-2009-3548 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-2009-3548/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3548/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-3548","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3548/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-3548","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-975h-h4pp-737q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tomcat Windows installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain administrative privileges on Apache Tomcat Windows installations due to a blank default password for the admin user.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"The Windows installer for Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.20, 5.5.0 through 5.5.28, and possibly earlier versions uses a blank default password for the administrative user, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2009-11-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":3,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-11-09","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_deploy","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat Manager Application Deployer Authenticated Code Execution"},{"date":"2009-11-09","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/tomcat_mgr_upload","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat Manager Authenticated Upload Code Execution"},{"date":"2010-12-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16317","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat Manager - Application Deployer (Authenticated) Code Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2014-02-05","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31433","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat Manager - Application Upload (Authenticated) Code Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/tomcat_mgr_login","stars":null,"title":"Tomcat Application Manager Login Utility"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3548","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":30,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3549"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3547"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-11-12","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":"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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 gain administrative privileges on Apache Tomcat Windows installations due to a blank default password for the admin user.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3548/"}
