{"id":"CVE-2018-1305","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2018-1305","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T00:48:58.882Z","title":"This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to access them.","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.","published":"2018-02-23T23:29:01.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-15T18:17:19.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":[],"affected":["apache/tomcat","debian/debian linux","canonical/ubuntu linux","oracle/fusion middleware","oracle/managed file transfer","oracle/micros relate crm software"],"epss":{"score":0.14472,"percentile":0.96612,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 14.5%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs.
