Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache Tomcat versions 11.0.20, 10.1.53 and 9.0.116 are affected, including the tomcat and tomcat-tribes packages. A fix for CVE-2026-29146 allowed bypass of the EncryptInterceptor, so sensitive data may not be encrypted as intended, and the source gives few details on what access an attacker needs. Upgrade to 11.0.21, 10.1.54 or 9.0.117.
