CVE-2025-49124 is an untrusted search path vulnerability in the Apache Tomcat installer for Windows. During installation, the installer invokes icacls.exe without specifying a fully qualified path, causing Windows executable search order to determine which binary is launched. If an attacker can place a malicious executable with the expected name in a location that is searched before the legitimate system binary, the installer may execute attacker-controlled code instead of the intended Windows utility. Affected versions are Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, 10.1.0 through 10.1.41, and 9.0.23 through 9.0.105. End-of-life branches 8.5.0 through 8.5.100 and 7.0.95 through 7.0.109 are also known to be affected, and other unsupported versions may be vulnerable as well.
