Path to dependency file: griffin/service/hibernate_mysql_pom.xml

Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/9.0.22/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.22.jar

Dependency Hierarchy: - spring-boot-starter-web-2.1.7.RELEASE.jar (Root Library) - spring-boot-starter-tomcat-2.1.7.RELEASE.jar - :x: **tomcat-embed-core-9.0.22.jar** (Vulnerable Library)

Vulnerability Details

If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M7, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.37 or 8.5.0 to 8.5.57 exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources.
