Vulnerability: Apache Tomcat - Cross-Site Scripting

Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting because the SSI printenv command echoes user provided data without escaping. Note: SSI is disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the victim’s browser, leading to session hijacking, defacement, or theft of sensitive information.
