CVE-2025-24813
GHSA-83qj-6fr2-vhqg |
| Summary | Apache Tomcat: Potential RCE and/or information disclosure and/or information corruption with partial PUT Path Equivalence: 'file.Name' (Internal Dot) leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Information disclosure and/or malicious content added to uploaded files via write enabled Default Servlet in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.2, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.34, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.98. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to view security sensitive files and/or inject content into those files: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - a target URL for security sensitive uploads that was a sub-directory of a target URL for public uploads - attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded - the security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT If all of the following were true, a malicious user was able to perform remote code execution: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - application was using Tomcat's file based session persistence with the default storage location - application included a library that may be leveraged in a deserialization attack Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.3, 10.1.35 or 9.0.99, which fixes the issue. |

| Data source | Metasploit |
|---|---|
| Description | This module exploits a Java deserialization vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's session restoration functionality that can be exploited with a partial HTTP PUT request to place an attacker controlled deserialization payload in the <tomcat_root_dir>/webapps/ROOT/ directory. For the exploit to succeed, writes must be enabled for the default servlet, and org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager must be configured to use org.apache.catalina.session.FileStore. Verified working on 10.1.16-1 |
