Apache Tomcat SingleSignOn information disclosure
| apache-singlesignon-information-disclosure (39804) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker from within the local network to obtain sensitive information. When the SingleSignOn valve is set up to work over HTTPS, the JSESSIONIDSSO cookie is transmitted over insecure channels. By sending an HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the cookie and other sensitive information.
