CVE-2020-1938 Scanner Detail

Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server and Servlet container that is widely used to run Java server pages (JSPs) and Java Servlets. It is popular because of its various features, including cross-platform compatibility, scalability, and reliability. It supports multiple add-ons and provides a versatile platform that can be easily customized as per the user's requirements. Apache Tomcat is used primarily to run web applications and is a critical component of many enterprise-grade systems.

CVE-2020-1938 is a security vulnerability found in Apache Tomcat software versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99. It is an AJP vulnerability that occurs when an attacker is allowed access to an AJP port. Such AJP connections are treated with higher trust than HTTP connections by Tomcat. As a result, if an attacker gains access to an AJP port, they can exploit it to return arbitrary files from the web application and process any file in the web application as a JSP. 

The CVE-2020-1938 vulnerability, when exploited, can lead to remote code execution. If an application allows file uploads and stores them within the web application, and an attacker can upload a file, this vulnerability could be potent as the uploader can execute arbitrary code remotely. Further, an attacker can also use this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from the web application or even modify it.
