Apache Tomcat versions before 6.0.48, 7.x before 7.0.73, 8.x before 8.0.39, 8.5.x before 8.5.7, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M12 are vulnerable to remote code execution if JmxRemoteLifecycleListener is used and the JMX ports are exposed to attackers. The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent credential type handling, which was not aligned with the CVE-2016-3427 Oracle patch. Attackers with access to JMX ports can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code remotely.
