Fix Recommendation

If operational/application requirements specify different group file permissions, obtain ISSM risk acceptance and set permissions according to risk acceptance.

Run the following commands on the Tomcat server:

sudo find $CATALINA_BASE/work -maxdepth 0 \( ! -user tomcat \) | sudo xargs chown tomcat

sudo find $CATALINA_BASE/work -maxdepth 0 \( ! -group tomcat \) | sudo xargs chgrp tomcat

Check Contents

Access the Tomcat server from the command line and execute the following OS command:

sudo find $CATALINA_BASE/work -follow -maxdepth 0 \( ! -user tomcat -o ! -group tomcat \) -ls

If ISSM risk acceptance specifies deviation from requirement based on operational/application needs, this is not a finding if the permissions are set in accordance with the risk acceptance.

If no folders are displayed, this is not a finding.

If results indicate the $CATALINA_BASE/work folder ownership and group membership is not set to tomcat:tomcat, this is a finding.
