The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.0},"cwes":[],"references":["http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00013.html","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/43530b91506e2e0c11cfbe691173f5df8c48f51b98262426d7493b67%40%3Cannounce.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3bbb800a816d0a51eccc5a228c58736960a9fffafa581a225834d97d%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r48c1444845fe15a823e1374674bfc297d5008a5453788099ea14caf0%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r6ccee4e849bc77df0840c7f853f6bd09d426f6741247da2b7429d5d9%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E"],"products":["apache:tomcat","canonical:ubuntu_linux","debian:debian_linux","netapp:oncommand_system_manager","opensuse:leap","oracle:workload_manager"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:59:27.069234358+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-12418","score":0.01221,"percentile":0.68501,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-hh3j-x4mc-g48r","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-hh3j-x4mc-g48r","summary":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials in Apache Tomcat","modified":"2026-08-07T08:12:02.933513866Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat.embed/tomcat-embed-core","ranges":["<7.0.99"],"fixed":["7.0.99"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat.embed/tomcat-embed-core","ranges":[">=8.0.0 <8.5.49"],"fixed":["8.5.49"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat.embed/tomcat-embed-core","ranges":[">=9.0.0 <9.0.29"],"fixed":["9.0.29"]}]}],"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).
