Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel

CVE-2025-49125

Medium
6.3/10

Summary

Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. When using `PreResources` or `PostResources` mounted other than at the root of the web application, it was possible to access those resources via an unexpected path. That path was likely not to be protected by the same security constraints as the expected path, allowing those security constraints to be bypassed. This issue affects Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.105, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, and 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7.
