94th percentile - higher than 94% of all known CVEs

Summary

Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.54, and 8.x before 8.0.6 does not properly constrain the class loader for the XML parser used with XSLT stylesheets, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary files via XXE or files associated with different web applications on a single Tomcat instance.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker can access sensitive files on the server, including files of other applications, potentially leading to data leakage.

Recommendation

Update Apache Tomcat to version 6.0.40, 7.0.54, or 8.0.6 (or later) depending on the branch in use.

Original NVD description (English source)

Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.54, and 8.x before 8.0.6 does not properly constrain the class loader that accesses the XML parser used with an XSLT stylesheet, which allows remote attackers to (1) read arbitrary files via a crafted web application that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue, or (2) read files associated with different web applications on a single Tomcat instance via a crafted web application.
