CVE-2016-0714: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

May 14, 2022 (updated July 6, 2022)

The session-persistence implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 mishandles session attributes, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a web application that places a crafted object in a session.
