Hi @aruneko,

Could you show us how you determined that the versions of org.apache.tomcat.experimental:tomcat-embed-programmatic are affected.

[aruneko]

Hello, thank you for your confirmation.

In fact, org.apache.tomcat.experimental:tomcat-embed-programmatic contains org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote. That's why, I added the package as an affected.
