Description
When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 and 7.0.23 to 7.0.90 returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user requested '/foo') a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.
Available Exploits
Apache Tomcat - Open Redirect
Apache Tomcat versions prior to 9.0.12, 8.5.34, and 7.0.91 are prone to an open-redirection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
