Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Tomcat versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.15 Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.0.M21

Description The issue is related to the HTTP/2 implementation in Apache Tomcat, which bypassed security checks, allowing directory traversal attacks. This could be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted URL to bypass security constraints.

Recommendations For Apache Tomcat versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.15, update to a version that includes the security fix for this issue. For Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.0.M21, update to a version that includes the security fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
