CVE-2026-75973
HighCVSS 7.3Summary
A vulnerability in Apache Tomcat related to improper authentication. When Jakarta Authentication is configured with SimpleAuthConfigProvider as the default provider and multiple web applications use that provider, the realm for the first web application to authenticate a request will be used for all web applications. Affects versions 11.0.0-M1-11.0.25, 10.1.0-M1-10.1.59, and 9.0.0.M4-9.0.121.
Risk Assessment
This could lead to unauthorized access to resources, as authentication may be performed in the wrong context, potentially compromising application security.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.26, 10.1.60, or 9.0.122, which fix this issue.
