CVE-2007-3386: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Host Manager Servlet for Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.13 and...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a cross-site scripting issue in Apache Tomcat's Host Manager Servlet. A crafted request could inject browser-executed HTML or script into the management interface. Business urgency depends mainly on whether affected Tomcat Host Manager versions are deployed and reachable, especially from untrusted networks. Exposure is most likely where legacy Tomcat 5.5 or 6.0 deployments still run the Host Manager Servlet and allow network access to it. The source bundle does not state authentication requirements or default exposure conditions. Treat this as a legacy management-interface risk. It is not supported by active exploitation evidence in the bundle, but exposed Tomcat administration surfaces can amplify XSS impact and should be removed from internet reach. Mitigation focus: Identify Tomcat 5.5.0-5.5.24 and 6.0.0-6.0.13 instances.; Upgrade affected Tomcat deployments using Apache or operating-system vendor guidance.; Restrict Host Manager access to trusted administrative networks only..
