Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2025-24813 is a critical Apache Tomcat flaw that can expose or corrupt sensitive files and, under narrower conditions, enable remote code execution. It requires risky configuration, notably write-enabled Default Servlet, but CISA KEV indicates known exploitation, so exposed Tomcat systems need urgent review. Highest exposure is internet-facing Tomcat where Default Servlet writes are enabled. Partial PUT is enabled by default. RCE exposure is narrower and depends on file-based session persistence, default storage, and a vulnerable deserialization path. Treat this as urgent for any internet-facing Tomcat service. The exploitability conditions are specific, but the CVSS 10 score, CISA KEV status, and public PoC reference justify accelerated patching and configuration review. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Tomcat to 11.0.3, 10.1.35, or 9.0.99 as applicable.; Move EOL Tomcat 8.5.x systems to a supported fixed release.; Confirm Default Servlet write support is disabled unless explicitly required..
