Description
"TRACE" is a technique for a user to request internal information about Tomcat. This is useful during product development but should not be enabled in production. Allowing an attacker to conduct a TRACE operation against Performance Charts will expose information that would be useful to perform a more targeted attack. Performance Charts provides the "allowTrace" parameter as means to disable responding to TRACE requests.
