Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-4444 is a remote code execution issue in Apache Tomcat 7 before 7.0.40. It requires specific conditions involving outdated java.io.File behavior and a custom JMX configuration. If those conditions exist, an attacker could upload and run a JSP file on the server. Exposure is most likely on legacy Tomcat 7 deployments earlier than 7.0.40 with custom JMX configuration and upload paths capable of serving JSP content. Packaged products embedding Tomcat may also be relevant, as Oracle, HPE, and Debian advisories are referenced. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or partner-facing Tomcat 7 systems, especially where custom JMX or file upload functionality exists. Legacy embedded Tomcat should be included in asset reviews because advisories reference downstream vendor products. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Tomcat 7.x to 7.0.40 or later where applicable.; Review vendor advisories for embedded Tomcat in Oracle, HPE, and Debian products.; Audit custom JMX configuration for file upload or deployment behavior..
