CVE-2009-2901

Apache Tomcat 5.5.0-5.5.28 and 6.0.0-6.0.20 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via Autodeployment

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The autodeployment process in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20, when autoDeploy is enabled, deploys appBase files that remain from a failed undeploy, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended authentication requirements via HTTP requests.
