Overview

org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core is a Core Tomcat implementation.

It does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation.
