CVE-2000-0760: Jakarta Tomcat Snoop servlet information disclosure via .snp request

Apache · Tomcat

The Snoop servlet in Jakarta Tomcat 3.1 and 3.0 under Apache returns sensitive system information when a remote attacker requests a nonexistent URL ending in .snp. This exposes internal details that can aid reconnaissance and follow-on attacks against the server.

Description

The Snoop servlet in Jakarta Tomcat 3.1 and 3.0 under Apache reveals sensitive system information when a remote attacker requests a nonexistent URL with a .snp extension.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

Automated analysis

Generated by VULONE's analysis model from the NVD record, CISA KEV and EPSS data on 19 September 2026. Confidence: medium.

high priorityUnauthenticated remote information disclosure with public exploit references and very high EPSS, though impact is limited to information exposure.

What it is

The Snoop servlet in Jakarta Tomcat 3.1 and 3.0 under Apache returns sensitive system information when a remote attacker requests a nonexistent URL ending in .snp. This exposes internal details that can aid reconnaissance and follow-on attacks against the server.

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker gains sensitive system information about the Tomcat host, which can be used to map the environment and plan further exploitation.

Attack surface

Reachable over the network via HTTP by requesting a nonexistent URL with a .snp extension; no authentication or user interaction is required per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/Au:N.

Exploitation

Not listed in CISA KEV, but EPSS is 0.62496 (99.151 percentile) and references carry an Exploit tag, indicating public exploit material and elevated likelihood of exploitation.

What to do

  • Upgrade to a Tomcat release after 3.1 that removes or fixes the Snoop servlet behavior.
  • If upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the Snoop servlet from the Tomcat configuration.
  • Restrict network access to the Tomcat HTTP connector to trusted clients only.
  • Monitor vendor advisories for Jakarta Tomcat 3.0/3.1 for any backported fix.

Detection

  • Search web access logs for requests to nonexistent URLs ending in .snp.
  • Alert on any HTTP request targeting the Snoop servlet path.
  • Baseline normal URL extensions and flag .snp requests as anomalous.

This assessment is produced automatically and is not human-reviewed. Verify against the vendor advisory before acting on it.
