CVE-2026-55276 is an Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation flaw in Apache Tomcat's effective web.xml logging. When Tomcat generates logged effective deployment-descriptor output, the implementation can omit special roles and empty authorization constraints, producing an incomplete representation of the application's effective authorization configuration. Affected versions are Tomcat 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.55, 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.118, and 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. End-of-support releases may also be affected.
