[NEW] [high] Apache Tomcat: Multiple Vulnerabilities
An attacker can exploit multiple vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat to bypass security measures, escalate privileges, manipulate or disclose data, or cause Denial-of-Service conditions.
CSIRTS triage
- What
- Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat allow privilege escalation, security bypass, data manipulation or disclosure, and denial-of-service.
- Who is affected
- All deployments of Apache Tomcat running vulnerable versions.
- Urgency
- High priority; multiple attack vectors including remote exploitation and privilege escalation pose significant risk.
- Action
- Update Apache Tomcat to a patched version addressing CVE-2026-65182, CVE-2026-65183, CVE-2026-65637, CVE-2026-65905, CVE-2026-65927, CVE-2026-66422, CVE-2026-68525, and CVE-2026-68569.
