CVE-2018-1305

This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to access them.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 14.5%

Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 14.5%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded. Because security constraints defined in this way apply to the URL pattern and any URLs below that point, it was possible - depending on the order Servlets were loaded - for some security constraints not to be applied. This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to access them.
