Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2008-1947 is a cross-site scripting flaw in Apache Tomcat's host-manager interface. If an affected host-manager page is reachable, an attacker could inject script or HTML through the host name field and target users who view the resulting page. Exposure is most likely on legacy Tomcat deployments or products bundling affected Tomcat versions where the host-manager application remains installed and reachable. Internet exposure or use by privileged administrators increases business risk. Treat this as a legacy-platform cleanup and admin-interface exposure issue. It is not supported here as actively exploited, but externally reachable management pages on affected Tomcat versions should be remediated promptly. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire affected Tomcat 5.5.x and 6.0.x instances.; Apply vendor-supported Tomcat or platform updates from relevant advisories.; Restrict host-manager access to trusted administrative networks only..
