Apache Tomcat - Authentication Bypass

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Nov 18, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Nov 18, 2024

Package

maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina (Maven)

Affected versions

< 9.0.96

>= 10.1.0-M1, < 10.1.30

>= 11.0.0-M1, <= 11.0.0-M26

Patched versions

9.0.96

10.1.30

11.0.1

Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not fail, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta Authentication components that behave in this way.

This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.95.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96, which fix the issue.
