An information disclosure issue was discovered in Apache Tomcat 8.5.7 to 8.5.9 and 9.0.0.M11 to 9.0.0.M15 in reverse-proxy configurations.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.12%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
