Frequently Asked Questions
About CVE-2025-46701 & Ionix's Threat Center
What is CVE-2025-46701 and how does it impact Apache Tomcat?
CVE-2025-46701 is a high-severity vulnerability in Apache Tomcat (versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.104, 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.40, and 11.0.0-M1 to 11.0.6) caused by improper case sensitivity handling in CGI servlet mappings. Attackers can bypass security constraints by altering URI casing, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). Apache has fixed this in versions 9.0.105, 10.1.41, and 11.0.7.
