Last modified
CVE-2012-5886 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 caches information about the authenticated user within the session state, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication via vectors related to the session ID.. EPSS estimates a 8.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
