CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 tomcat-lib to version 9.0.20-3.24.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-lib package and not the tomcat-lib package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
