CVE-2022-45143
The JsonErrorReportValve in Apache Tomcat 8.5.83, 9.0.40 to 9.0.68 and 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.1 did not escape the type, message or description values.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The JsonErrorReportValve in Apache Tomcat 8.5.83, 9.0.40 to 9.0.68 and 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.1 did not escape the type, message or description values. In some circumstances these are constructed from user provided data and it was therefore possible for users to supply values that invalidated or manipulated the JSON output.
