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-2017-5648 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.76\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.76\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.42\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.42\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.5.0; fixed in 8.5.13\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.5.0; fixed in 8.5.13\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M1; fixed in 9.0.0.M18\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 9.0.0.M1; fixed in 9.0.0.M18\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.76\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (Maven): affected from 7.0.0; fixed in 7.0.76\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.42\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (Maven): affected from 8.0.0; fixed in 8.0.42\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-2017-5648/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5648/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5648","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5648/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5648","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3vx3-xf6q-r5xp","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-5648"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Untrusted applications can access or modify other web applications' data when running under a SecurityManager due to missing facade objects.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"}],"description":"While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to application listeners in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.11, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.75 did not use the appropriate facade object.
