Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Manager application in Apache Tomcat 5.5.25 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that manipulate application deployment via the POST method, as demonstrated by a /manager/html/undeploy?path= URI. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that "the Apache Tomcat Security team has not accepted any reports of CSRF attacks against the Manager application ... as they require a reckless system administrator.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This report describes a CSRF issue in the Apache Tomcat Manager application in version 5.5.25 and earlier. A logged-in administrator could allegedly be tricked into sending a deployment-changing POST request, such as undeploying an application. The vendor disputed the significance, saying accepted CSRF reports require unusually reckless administrator behavior. Exposure is most plausible where Apache Tomcat 5.5.25 or earlier is still running and the Manager application is enabled for administrators. Risk is lower if Manager is absent, inaccessible to browsers, or not used by privileged authenticated administrators. Do not treat this as a confirmed emergency from the supplied evidence. Treat it as legacy-platform hygiene: find old Tomcat Manager instances, reduce administrative exposure, and plan remediation through vendor-supported guidance. Mitigation focus: Check current Apache Tomcat vendor guidance before choosing a corrective action.; Inventory systems for Tomcat 5.5.25 or earlier with Manager enabled.; Restrict Manager access to only trusted administrative users and locations..
