Arbitrary Code Execution via Session Persistence in Apache Tomcat

CVE-2016-0714 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

The session-persistence implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 mishandles session attributes, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a web application that places a crafted object in a session.
