Amendment

The SLES security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for SLES:15.0.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-docs-webapp package and not the tomcat-docs-webapp package as distributed by SLES.

The SSI printenv command in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 echoes user provided data without escaping and is, therefore, vulnerable to XSS. SSI is disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.
