CVE-2021-30640
A vulnerability in the JNDI Realm of Apache Tomcat allows an attacker to authenticate using variations of a valid user name and/or to bypass some of the protection provided by the LockOut Realm.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (9.89%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
