CVE-2007-5333: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2007-5333: Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly handle...

Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly handle (1) double quote (") characters or (2) %5C (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value, which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote attackers and enable session hijacking attacks. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-5333 is an Apache Tomcat cookie-handling flaw that could expose session identifiers. If a session ID leaks, an attacker may be able to hijack a user session. The source bundle lists older Tomcat 4.1, 5.5, and 6.0 releases and notes this was an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385. Exposure is most likely in legacy applications still running Tomcat 6.0.0-6.0.14, 5.5.0-5.5.25, or 4.1.0-4.1.36, especially internet-facing apps that rely on cookie-based sessions. Evidence is incomplete for packaged downstream products beyond referenced vendor advisories. Treat this as a legacy-platform risk with meaningful account-takeover impact if affected systems still exist. It is not listed as actively exploited in the supplied evidence, but any exposed legacy Tomcat instance should be prioritized for upgrade or retirement. Mitigation focus: Inventory Tomcat versions across internet-facing and internal Java applications.; Check Apache Tomcat security guidance for fixed or supported upgrade paths.; Review downstream vendor advisories for packaged Tomcat dependencies..
