Tomcat 8.5.32    JVM 1.8.0_181-b13         Windows Server 2016     amd64

We had stopped a webapp via Manager in February. Over July 4th the webapp 
started and ran for several days before it was discovered.
There was a windows restart at that time in connection with windows updates. 
Searching the logs also revealed potential CSRF attacks both on other webapps 
that were supposed to be running as well as the one which restarted. There was 
no activity for this webapp restart recorded in the manager log.

I have searched known tomcat issues, general web, internal logs for the web 
server.

We are trying to determine how the webapp could have possibly started. Has 
anyone heard of an issue where a stopped webapp can change state and run 
because of an operating system restart? Could a successful CSRF attack set 
conditions for the webapp to start either by a windows restart or a direct 
start?
