While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to application listeners in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.11, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.75 did not use the appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application under a SecurityManager, it was therefore possible for that untrusted application to retain a reference to the request or response object and thereby access and/or modify information associated with another web application.

- CVE-2021-46354HIGH 7.5EPSS 13%
Thinfinity VirtualUI 2.1.28.0, 2.1.32.1 and 2.5.26.2, fixed in version 3.0 is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the parameter "Addr" in cmd site. The ability to send requests to other systems can allow the vulnerable server to filtrate the real IP of the web server or increase the attack surface.
- CVE-2022-24975HIGH 7.5DisputedEPSS 3%
The --mirror documentation for Git through 2.35.1 does not mention the availability of deleted content, aka the "GitBleed" issue. This could present a security risk if information-disclosure auditing processes rely on a clone operation without the --mirror option. Note: This has been disputed by multiple 3rd parties who believe this is an intended feature of the git binary and does not pose a security risk.
