Descriptions

The SSI printenv command in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.17, 8.5.0 to 8.5.39 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.93 echoes user provided data without escaping and is, therefore, vulnerable to XSS. SSI is disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.

El comando printenv de SSI en Apache Tomcat versión 9.0.0.M1 hasta 9.0.0.17, versión 8.5.0 hasta 8.5.39 y versión 7.0.0 hasta 7.0.93, hace eco de los datos suministrados por el usuario sin escapar, y en consecuencia, es vulnerable a XSS. SSI está deshabilitado por defecto. El comando printenv está destinado a la depuración y es poco probable que esté presente en un sitio web de producción.
