# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-29129

Advisory: Apache Tomcat: Configured cipher preference order not preserved
IDs: CVE-2026-29129, GHSA-69cc-cv78-qc8g
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-29129 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:45 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote 11.0.20, 10.1.53, 9.0.116; org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core 11.0.20, 10.1.53, 9.0.116; org.apache.tomcat:tomcat 11.0.20, 10.1.53, 9.0.116. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote: affected >= 9.0.114, < 9.0.116; >= 10.1.51, < 10.1.53; >= 11.0.16, < 11.0.20; fixed in 11.0.20, 9.0.116, 10.1.53
- Maven org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core: affected >= 9.0.114, < 9.0.116; >= 10.1.51, < 10.1.53; >= 11.0.16, < 11.0.20; fixed in 11.0.20, 9.0.116, 10.1.53
- Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: affected >= 9.0.114, < 9.0.116; >= 10.1.51, < 10.1.53; >= 11.0.16, < 11.0.20; fixed in 11.0.20, 9.0.116, 10.1.53

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote, org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core, org.apache.tomcat:tomcat.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
