The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.01221,"percentile":0.68603,"provenance":"source"},"cwes":[],"references":[{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/43530b91506e2e0c11cfbe691173f5df8c48f51b98262426d7493b67%40%3Cannounce.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4596","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_DEBIAN"]},{"url":"https://seclists.org/bugtraq/2019/Dec/43","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_BUGTRAQ"]},{"url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20200107-0001/","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"url":"https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K10107360?utm_source=f5support&amp%3Butm_medium=RSS","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-01/msg00013.html","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_SUSE"]},{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/01/msg00024.html","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://usn.ubuntu.com/4251-1/","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_UBUNTU"]},{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r6ccee4e849bc77df0840c7f853f6bd09d426f6741247da2b7429d5d9%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3bbb800a816d0a51eccc5a228c58736960a9fffafa581a225834d97d%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r9136ff5b13e4f1941360b5a309efee2c114a14855578c3a2cbe5d19c%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/raba0fabaf4d56d4325ab2aca8814f0b30a237ab83d8106b115ee279a%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r48c1444845fe15a823e1374674bfc297d5008a5453788099ea14caf0%40%3Cdev.tomcat.apache.org%3E","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202003-43","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_GENTOO"]},{"url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/03/msg00029.html","tags":["mailing-list","x_refsource_MLIST"]},{"url":"https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2020.html","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]},{"url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4680","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_DEBIAN"]}],"priority":{"score":13.7,"factors":[{"name":"EPSS
