CVE-2014-0119: Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.54, and 8.x before 8.0.6 does not properly constrain the class...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Apache Tomcat flaw can let an attacker-controlled web application read files it should not access. The risk is strongest on shared Tomcat servers or environments where untrusted users, tenants, or compromised deployment paths can place web applications on the server. Systems are most exposed if they run affected Tomcat versions and allow multiple applications, tenant-controlled deployments, or weakly controlled CI/CD paths to deploy web applications onto the same instance. Treat this as a remediation priority for legacy or shared Tomcat environments. It is less urgent than a confirmed exploited internet RCE, but it can create sensitive file disclosure where deployment controls are weak. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Tomcat to 6.0.40, 7.0.54, 8.0.6, or later supported vendor packages.; Apply relevant operating system or product vendor advisories where Tomcat is bundled.; Restrict who can deploy web applications to Tomcat instances..
