CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26520
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to create arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling jdbc URL or its properties. A remote attacker can call java.util.logging.FileHandler to write to arbitrary files through the loggerFile and loggerLevel connection properties.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to create and executable arbitraru JSP file under a Tomcat web root.
