A critical security vulnerability, CVE-2025-24813, has been identified in Apache Tomcat, potentially exposing servers to remote code execution (RCE) and data leaks. The vulnerability stems from a path equivalence issue related to how Tomcat handles filenames with internal dots, particularly when writes are enabled for the default servlet and partial PUT support is enabled. This flaw could allow attackers to execute malicious code, disclose sensitive information, or inject malicious content into uploaded files.
Users of Apache Tomcat versions 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.2, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.34, and 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.98 are advised to upgrade immediately to versions 11.0.3, 10.1.35, or 9.0.99 respectively, which include the necessary fixes. The vulnerability exists if an application uses Tomcat's file-based session persistence with the default storage location and includes a library susceptible to deserialization attacks, potentially leading to remote code execution. COSCo Shipping Lines DIC and sw0rd1ight are credited with discovering and reporting the vulnerability. References :
