An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2010-4172 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.12 up to 6.0.29; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.12 up to 6.0.29; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.5\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.5\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-2010-4172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-4172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4172/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-4172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c78g-qwpw-2jgv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat Manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the Apache Tomcat Manager application, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Manager application in Apache Tomcat 6.0.12 through 6.0.29 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) orderBy or (2) sort parameter to sessionsList.jsp, or unspecified input to (3) sessionDetail.jsp or (4) java/org/apache/catalina/manager/JspHelper.java, related to use of untrusted web applications.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2010-11-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2010-11-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"35011","stars":null,"title":"Apache Tomcat 7.0.4 -
