Analysis Summary

CVE-2024-52316 CVSS:9.8

Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when using a custom Jakarta Authentication ServerAuthContext component. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the authentication process.

CVE-2024-52317 CVSS:6.5

Apache Tomcat could provide weaker than expected security, caused by an incorrect recycling of the request and response used by HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.

CVE-2024-52318 CVSS:6.1

Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the JSP tag. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
