Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-0714 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 6.0.46\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.0.46\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.70\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.70\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0.RC1; fixed in 8.0.32\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 8.0.0.RC1; fixed in 8.0.32\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-2016-0714/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0714/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0714","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0714/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0714","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-0714"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass SecurityManager restrictions to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via crafted session objects.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"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:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The session-persistence implementation in 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 mishandles session attributes, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a web application that places a crafted object in a session.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-05-21","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-05-21T02:11:48Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/dannyEndorTest/java-vulnerable","stars":0,"title":"EXPOSURE demo target: Tomcat (CVE-2016-0714) + Apache Rave (CVE-2013-1814) + Java filter-padding deps"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Access Control in Apache Tomcat","id":"CVE-2016-0714","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:tomcat","products":["apache:tomcat","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":50,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime","id":"CVE-2016-0715"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.46"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["6.0.46"],"introduced":["6.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.70"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["7.0.70"],"introduced":["7.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.32"],"introduced":["8.0.0.RC1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["8.0.32"],"introduced":["8.0.0.RC1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["9.0.0.M2"],"introduced":["9.0.0.M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-mv42-px54-87jw"},{"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-mv42-px54-87jw"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0713"},"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 -
