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-2025-55754 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 10.1.0-M1; fixed in 10.1.45\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 10.1.0-M1; fixed in 10.1.45\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 11.0.0-M1; fixed in 11.0.11\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 11.0.0-M1; fixed in 11.0.11\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.5.60 up to 8.5.100; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 8.5.60 up to 8.5.100; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 9.0.40; fixed in 9.0.109\n- org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (Maven): affected from 9.0.40; fixed in 9.0.109\n- tomcat (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 9.0.109, 10.1.45, 11.0.11\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 10.1.0-M1; fixed in 10.1.45\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 10.1.0-M1; fixed in 10.1.45\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 11.0.0-M1; fixed in 11.0.11\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-2025-55754/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55754/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-55754","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55754/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-55754","record":{"aliases":["BIT-tomcat-2025-55754","CLEANSTART-2026-NY54593","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-55754","GHSA-vfww-5hm6-hx2j","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2025-55754","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-55754"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tomcat","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject ANSI escape sequences into Tomcat logs to manipulate the console and trick administrators into executing malicious commands.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-150","name":"Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Escape, Meta, or Control Sequences vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.\n\nTomcat did not escape ANSI escape sequences in log messages. If Tomcat was running in a console on a Windows operating system, and the console supported ANSI escape sequences, it was possible for an attacker to use a specially crafted URL to inject ANSI escape sequences to manipulate the console and the clipboard and attempt to trick an administrator into running an attacker controlled command. While no attack vector was found, it may have been possible to mount this attack on other operating systems.\n\nThis issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.40 through 9.0.108.\n\nThe following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are \nknown to be affected: 8.5.60 though 8.5.100.
