For PRIME version 3.12 and below, they are affected only if you choose to run them with JRE 11 instead of JRE 8. | Not affected (does not use spring-cloud-functions) | The underlying source code of this component filters correctly for the content type. Additionally, unmarshalling from URL encoded data to form data is not used in the program code. To have an adequate protection we strongly recommend using Apache Tomcat version 10.0.20, 9.0.62, or 8.5.78 or above. |
For Smart ID on Docker versions 21.10.3, 21.04.9, and 20.11.6, Apache Tomcat has been updated to the latest, non-vulnerable version. | |||
