The root cause was the unexpected behaviour of the JRE API File.getCanonicalPath() which in turn was caused by the inconsistent behaviour of the Windows API (FindFirstFileW) in some circumstances.","published":"2021-01-14T15:15:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-08T21:17:34.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-200","CWE-706"],"affected":["apache/tomcat","debian/debian linux","oracle/agile product lifecycle management"],"epss":{"score":0.22852,"percentile":0.97723,"date":"2026-10-26","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 22.9%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs.
