CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/287.html

The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check realm values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the availability of a protection space with weaker authentication or authorization requirements, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
