    There is a vulnerability associated with iDash (v12.1.00.00-0427 - bundled Tomcat8). 

    Title: (CVE-2019-17563) Apache Tomcat FORM Authentication Session Fixation Vulnerability

    Technical Description:
    When using FORM authentication with Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.29, 8.5.0 to 8.5.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.98 there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack. The window was considered too narrow for an exploit to be practical but, erring on the side of caution, this issue has been treated as a security vulnerability.

    Technical Detail:
    /djs-as1/apps/idash/tomcat8 [PID:] 14197


    Solution: 
    There isn't a process for upgrading Tomcat outside of the release cadence. When a new versions of iDash is released, we will upgrade the
    bundled Tomcat to the newest version, which will address all vulnerabilities.
