Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Definitions: FIRST CVSS v3.1 specification.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 29 Jun 2026
Detectable: evidence found.
nuclei template: Apache Tomcat - Cross-Site Scripting
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: evidence found.
3 exposed hosts found; no attack traffic recorded

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), OffSeq Mirage (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 10 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Description

This update for tomcat11 fixes the following issues Update to Tomcat 11.0.23. Security issues fixed: - CVE-2026-50229: improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags in the number guess example (bsc#1269791). - CVE-2026-53404: always-incorrect control flow implementation in the rewrite valve caused non-OR conditions to be skipped if the first condition in an OR chain matched (bsc#1269910). - CVE-2026-53434: error condition not handled when configuring CRLs for a FFM based connector (bsc#1269824). - CVE-2026-55276: always-incorrect control flow implementation caused special roles and empty authorization constraints to not be included when the effective web.xml was logged (bsc#1269909). - CVE-2026-55955: improper authentication allows a replay attack against the EncryptionInterceptor in the cluster component (bsc#1269908). - CVE-2026-55956: improper authorization leads to security constraints specified for the default servlet ignoring any method or method omission configured as part of the constraint (bsc#1269907). Other updates and bugfixes: - Upgrade libtcnative to v2 (bsc#1232390) - Tomcat 11.0.23: * Catalina + Add: Add support for literal '%' characters in access log output. Based on pull request #1002 by Fabian Hahn. (markt) + Fix: Lower the log level to debug when OpenSSL initialization fails in OpenSSLLifecycleListener to avoid stack traces when libssl.so is not present and to align the behavior of the isAvailable() check with the AprLifecycleListener and gracefully fail when natives are not present. (csutherl) + Fix: 70038: Cookie.clone() should also clone the internal attribute map. (markt) + Code: Remove unnecessary code from the SSI processing engine that was duplicating some of the normalisation checks. (markt) + Fix: Cleaner handling of invalid SPNEGO tokens. (remm) + Fix: Avoid some NPEs in the Connector class on an uninitialize protocol. (remm) + Fix: Incorrect session average life calculation. (remm) + Fix: Improve robustness on using Pipeline.setBasic on a running pipeline. (remm) + Fix: Avoid any init parameter updates when conflicts are found for filters, similar to what is done for servlets, as required by the servlet specification. (remm) + Fix: Fix container event cleanups in some edge cases. (remm) + Fix: Check for last-modified header in ExpiresFilter when a servlet uses addDateHeader to avoid wrongly considering it has been set. (remm) + Fix: Fix hour unit used by ExpiresFilter. (remm) + Fix: Remove exception swallowing in DataSourceStore to align it with FileStore and avoid session loss on errors. (remm) + Fix: Add support for single-quote escaped literal as well as quoted literals in DateFormatCache. (schultz) + Fix: On JAAS logout, clear out role principals on the subject that were added on commit, as recommended by the JAAS specification. (remm) + Fix: MemoryRealm should not add a dummy role when none is specified in the configuration. (remm) + Fix: DataSourceUserDatabase should return a null principal on a non existing user. (remm) + Fix: Fix shared lock expiration in WebDAV. (remm) + Fix: Inaccurate session exipration statistics when using the persistent manager. (remm) + Fix: Skip BOM when serving files with UTF-32 encoding. (remm) + Fix: Mixup of WrapperListener and WrapperLifecycle elements in storeconfig. (remm) + Fix: Incorrect processing of modified users in DataSourceUserDatabase. (remm) + Update: Clarify behavior in the UserDatabase for user, role and group creation that it does not immediately override existing elements. Removal (or update) needs to be used instead. (remm) + Fix: 70049: Align the web application class loader with parent class loaders and swallow any errors caused by invalid paths when looking up resources and behave as if the resources were not found in that case. (markt) + Fix: Improve validation of Range and Content-Range parsers so invalid ranges trigger a 4xx response rather than a 500 response. Pull request #1012 provided by Sahana Surendra Bogar. (markt) + Fix: Fix connection leak in ProxyErrorReportValve. (remm) + Fix: When using the RewriteValve, %{SSL:HTTPS} now returns on or off rather than true or false to align with httpd. (markt) + Fix: Reset the encoding used for query string parameters between requests in case an application changed the encoding in a previous request. (markt) + Fix: When encoding URLs with the CsrfPreventionFilter, don't add the nonce to URLs that are known not to require it. (markt) + Fix: Fix SSO cookie partitioned configuration. (remm) + Fix: Fix CombinedRealm isAvailable, it allows authentication if at least one sub realm is available. (remm) + Fix: 70048: Correctly handle asynchronous requ
