CVE-2019-0221

65
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-0221 describes a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.93, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39, and 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, specifically within the SSI printenv command. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.1) allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts due to the command echoing user-provided data without proper escaping, potentially leading to information disclosure or limited integrity impact. While SSI is disabled by default and printenv is intended for debugging, exploit code is publicly available via ExploitDB and Nuclei templates, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
