CVE-2014-7810

Tomcat/JbossWeb: security manager bypass via EL expressions

Published Jun 7, 2015 CVSS 2.0 · 5.0 Medium EPSS 13.3% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Expression Language (EL) implementation in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.58, and 8.x before 8.0.16 does not properly consider the possibility of an accessible interface implemented by an inaccessible class, which allows attackers to bypass a SecurityManager protection mechanism via a web application that leverages use of incorrect privileges during EL evaluation.
