Doc Text:	A directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat caused by improper URL normalization during request rewriting. When specific rewrite rules are used, an attacker could craft a malicious request to bypass access restrictions and reach protected directories such as /WEB-INF/ or /META-INF/. If HTTP PUT requests are also enabled, this flaw could allow the upload of malicious files, potentially leading to remote code execution.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-27 18:01:55 UTC

Relative Path Traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.

The fix for bug 60013 introduced a regression where the       rewritten URL was normalized before it was decoded. This introduced the       possibility that, for rewrite rules that rewrite query parameters to the       URL, an attacker could manipulate the request URI to bypass security       constraints including the protection for /WEB-INF/ and /META-INF/. If PUT requests were also enabled then malicious files could be uploaded leading to remote code execution. PUT requests are normally limited to trusted users and it is considered unlikely that PUT requests would be enabled in conjunction with a rewrite that manipulated the URI.



This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, from 9.0.0.M11 through 9.0.108.

The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are 
known to be affected: 8.5.6 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.11 or later, 10.1.45 or later or 9.0.109 or later, which fix the issue.
