The HTTP/2 implementation in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M21 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.15 bypassed a number of security checks that prevented directory traversal attacks. It was therefore possible to bypass security constraints using a specially crafted URL.

Exploit prediction (EPSS)

10.14% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 96% of all scored CVEs.
