Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-2200
Advisory Release Date: 2023-08-03 18:10 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-08-08 22:02 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
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. (CVE-2019-0221)
Affected Packages:
