CVE-2011-1419: Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.11, when web.xml has no security constraints, does not follow ServletSecurity...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.11 when an application relies on ServletSecurity annotations but has no web.xml security constraints. Tomcat may ignore those annotations, so pages or functions intended to require access control could be reachable by remote users. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Tomcat 7 deployments before 7.0.11 and applications that rely on ServletSecurity annotations without web.xml security constraints. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, but the CVE title and Apache references identify Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.11. Prioritize if legacy Tomcat 7 systems host sensitive or authenticated business functions. The issue is old, but a still-running vulnerable system could silently expose restricted application areas. No active exploitation evidence is provided in the bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Tomcat 7 to 7.0.11 or later where feasible.; Review Apache Tomcat security guidance for supported remediation details.; Add explicit web.xml security constraints if vendor guidance supports that control..
