An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-5351 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.68\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.68\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.31\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.31\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M0; fixed in 9.0.0.M2\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M0; 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-2015-5351/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5351/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5351","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5351/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5351","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5351"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass CSRF protection in Apache Tomcat Manager applications by exploiting session token generation flaws.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The (1) Manager and (2) Host Manager applications in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 establish sessions and send CSRF tokens for arbitrary new requests, which allows remote attackers to bypass a CSRF protection mechanism by using a token.","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":"Apache Tomcat allows remote attackers to bypass a CSRF protection mechanism by using a token","id":"CVE-2015-5351","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux"],"type":"csrf","year":"2015"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":36,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5352"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.68"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.68"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.31"],"introduced":["8.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.31"],"introduced":["8.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-w7cg-5969-678w"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Garden Nstar","id":"CVE-2015-5350"},"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 -
