GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw

HIGH

GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability in org.apache.tomcat:tomcat. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

An information disclosure issue was discovered in Apache Tomcat 8.5.7 to 8.5.9 and 9.0.0.M11 to 9.0.0.M15 in reverse-proxy configurations. Http11InputBuffer.java allows remote attackers to read data that was intended to be associated with a different request.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update org.apache.tomcat:tomcat to 8.5.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-fjwp-r6fm-q6qw. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
