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-2023-41081 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apache Tomcat Connectors. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2023-41081/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41081/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41081","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41081/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41081","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2025-1763032400","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-41081","DLA-3580-1","GHSA-4wvr-fq5p-2362","MGASA-2024-0130","SUSE-SU-2024:1198-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-41081","USN-6826-1","USN-8369-2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat Connectors","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass security constraints or expose status workers via implicit mapping in mod_jk when specific configurations are used.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat_connectors","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Important: Authentication Bypass CVE-2023-41081\n\nThe mod_jk component of Apache Tomcat Connectors in some circumstances, such as when a configuration included \"JkOptions +ForwardDirectories\" but the configuration did not       provide explicit mounts for all possible proxied requests, mod_jk would       use an implicit mapping and map the request to the first defined worker. Such an implicit mapping could result in the unintended exposure of the status worker and/or bypass security constraints configured in httpd.
