CVE-2016-8735 added to CISA KEV: Apache Tomcat
Status: ✅ Confirmed exploited in the wild
Date added: 2023-05-12

Why this matters
Apache Tomcat contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows for remote code execution if JmxRemoteLifecycleListener is used and an attacker can reach Java Management Extension (JMX) ports. This CVE exists because this listener wasn't updated for consistency with the Oracle patched issues for CVE-2016-3427 which affected credential types.
