CVE-2019-0232
Apache Tomcat Remote Code Execution via CGI Servlet - Disclosure Link
Tomcat hosted on Windows machine with the CGI Servlet enabled is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution when enabling the enableCmdLineArguments option. The CGI Servlet is disabled in Tomcat by default and must be explicitly enabled within the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml file. The following snippet will enable the servlet when uncommented:
<!-- The mapping for the CGI Gateway servlet --> <!-- <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> -->Yellowfin does not enable this in our default installations, and our application does not utilize this servlet.
