CVE-2025-24813 · Severity: critical · CVSS 3.1 · Exploited in the wild · Published 2025-03-10

Apache Tomcat contains a path equivalence vulnerability involving internal dots in filenames. When the default servlet has writes enabled and partial PUT is supported, remote attackers can achieve code execution, information disclosure, or file content injection. Remote code execution specifically requires Tomcat's file-based session persistence and a library vulnerable to deserialization.
