Quick fix
GHSA-pjfr-qf3p-3q25 — org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>7.0.79</version> for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-coreDetails
When running Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.79 on Windows with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default to false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server.
