The default configuration of Jakarta Tomcat does not restrict access to the /admin context, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by directly calling the administrative servlets to add a context for the root directory.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 10.0%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
