What is GhostCat Vulnerability?

GhostCat affects the default configuration of Tomcat servers. It is related to the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP) protocol. The AJP connector used by Tomcat is affected in such a way that it can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to access configuration and source code files for web applications deployed on a server.
