CVE-2025-55754 is an improper neutralization of escape, meta, or control sequences vulnerability in Apache Tomcat log messages. A specially crafted URL can cause ANSI escape sequences to be written to log output without escaping. On Windows systems where Tomcat runs in an ANSI-capable console, the injected sequences can manipulate console display and clipboard contents, enabling social engineering intended to induce an administrator to run an attacker-controlled command. Apache Tomcat versions 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.10, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.44, and 9.0.40 through 9.0.108 are affected. Tomcat 8.5.60 through 8.5.100, which were end-of-life when the issue was created, are also known to be affected.
