An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5346 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.66\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.66\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0.RC1; fixed in 8.0.31\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0.RC1; fixed in 8.0.31\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M1; fixed in 9.0.0.M2\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M1; fixed in 9.0.0.M2\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-2015-5346/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5346/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5346","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5346/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5346","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5346"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can hijack web sessions in Apache Tomcat when multiple application versions share session settings, leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Session fixation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.66, 8.x before 8.0.30, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2, when different session settings are used for deployments of multiple versions of the same web application, might allow remote attackers to hijack web sessions by leveraging use of a requestedSessionSSL field for an unintended request, related to CoyoteAdapter.java and Request.java.","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 Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation in Apache Tomcat","id":"CVE-2015-5346","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2015"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":35,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5347"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.66"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.66"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.31"],"introduced":["8.0.0.RC1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.31"],"introduced":["8.0.0.RC1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-jrcp-c39h-r29x"}],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory in Apache Tomcat","id":"CVE-2015-5345"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-02-25","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 -
