The update was not correct. As a result, some scripts may have failed to execute as expected and other scripts may have been executed unexpectedly. Note that the behaviour of the CGI servlet has remained unchanged in this regard. It is only the documentation of the behaviour that was wrong and has been corrected.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":5.3},"cwes":["CWE-358"],"references":["http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/103069","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/1dd0a59c1295cc08ce4c9e7edae5ad2268acc9ba55adcefa0532e5ba%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/343558d982879bf88ec20dbf707f8c11255f8e219e81d45c4f8d0551%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/388a323769f1dff84c9ec905455aa73fbcb20338e3c7eb131457f708%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/3d19773b4cf0377db62d1e9328bf9160bf1819f04f988315086931d7%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E"],"products":["apache:tomcat"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:48:34.567387330+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2017-15706","score":0.06083,"percentile":0.93411,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-372q-33vh-8mpc","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-372q-33vh-8mpc","summary":"Inconsistent documentation in Apache Tomcat","modified":"2024-03-16T05:19:18.472607Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","ranges":[">=9.0.0.M22 <9.0.2"],"fixed":["9.0.2"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","ranges":[">=8.5.16 <8.5.24"],"fixed":["8.5.24"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","ranges":[">=8.0.45 <8.0.48"],"fixed":["8.0.48"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","ranges":[">=7.0.79 <7.0.84"],"fixed":["7.0.84"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
