It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2010-3718 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.5.0; fixed in 5.5.30\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 5.5.0; fixed in 5.5.30\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.0.30\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.0.30\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.4\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.4\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-2010-3718/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3718/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-3718","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3718/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-3718","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local web applications can read or write files outside the working directory via path traversal when Tomcat runs with a SecurityManager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":1.2,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.3, 6.0.x, and 5.5.x, when running within a SecurityManager, does not make the ServletContext attribute read-only, which allows local web applications to read or write files outside of the intended working directory, as demonstrated using a directory traversal attack.","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":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory in Apache Tomcat","id":"CVE-2010-3718","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2010"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":34,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3719"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.5.30"],"introduced":["5.5.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.5.30"],"introduced":["5.5.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.30"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.30"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.4"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.4"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-fj6c-prgj-gr3r"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3717"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-02-10","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":"Local web applications can read or write files outside the working directory via path traversal when Tomcat runs with a SecurityManager.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-3718/"}
