Apache Tomcat Manager is a widely used tool for deploying and managing HTTP services within the Apache Tomcat server environment. It is often utilized by developers and system administrators to manage and deploy Java-based web applications. The tool's purpose is to facilitate the efficient management of Tomcat servers in various enterprise and development contexts.
Configuration Disclosure in Apache Tomcat Manager involves the unintended exposure of sensitive operational parameters and credentials through non-standardized paths. This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized access to management services.
Technical details involve URL path normalization techniques that circumvent typical access restrictions, inadvertently exposing configuration data. The endpoint vulnerability primarily relates to Tomcat Manager’s HTTP management paths and their normalization logic. This involves endpoints like '/manager/html' that could reveal sensitive management interfaces when improperly configured.
The exposure of configuration details could allow malicious actors to gain insights into server configurations or credentials, potentially leading to further exploitation. An attacker may use this information to access restricted areas or enhance other attacks on the system.
