Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-0706 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.0.45\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.0.45\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-2016-0706/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0706/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0706","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0706/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0706","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6vx3-hr43-cfrh","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-0706"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass SecurityManager restrictions to read arbitrary HTTP requests and discover session IDs via a crafted web application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"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":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 does not place org.apache.catalina.manager.StatusManagerServlet on the org/apache/catalina/core/RestrictedServlets.properties list, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read arbitrary HTTP requests, and consequently discover session ID values, via a crafted web application.","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":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Tomcat","id":"CVE-2016-0706","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":45,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0707"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.45"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.45"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.31"],"introduced":["8.0.0.RC1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"},{"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-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"},{"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-6vx3-hr43-cfrh"}],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0705"},"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 -
