CVE-2019-0232 - High Severity Vulnerability

Vulnerable Library - tomcat-embed-core-8.5.28.jar

Core Tomcat implementation

Library home page: http://tomcat.apache.org/

Path to dependency file: /Mail-Parser/pom.xml

Path to vulnerable library: /root/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/8.5.28/tomcat-embed-core-8.5.28.jar

Dependency Hierarchy:

  • spring-boot-starter-web-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar (Root Library)
    • spring-boot-starter-tomcat-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar
      • ❌ tomcat-embed-core-8.5.28.jar (Vulnerable Library)

Vulnerability Details

When running on Windows with enableCmdLineArguments enabled, the CGI Servlet in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to a bug in the way the JRE passes command line arguments to Windows. The CGI Servlet is disabled by default. The CGI option enableCmdLineArguments is disable by default in Tomcat 9.0.x (and will be disabled by default in all versions in response to this vulnerability). For a detailed explanation of the JRE behaviour, see Markus Wulftange's blog (https://codewhitesec.blogspot.com/2016/02/java-and-command-line-injections-in-windows.html) and this archived MSDN blog (https://web.archive.org/web/20161228144344/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/twistylittlepassagesallalike/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way/).
