Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.117711
Category:Web Servers
Title:Apache HTTP Server 2.4.49 - 2.4.50 Directory Traversal / RCE Vulnerability - Windows
Summary:Apache HTTP Server is prone to a directory traversal; and a possible remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Apache HTTP Server is prone to a directory traversal
and a possible remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was found that the fix for CVE-2021-41773 in Apache HTTP
Server 2.4.50 was insufficient. An attacker could use a path traversal attack to map URLs to files
outside the directories configured by Alias-like directives.

If files outside of these directories are not protected by the usual default configuration
'require all denied', these requests can succeed. If CGI scripts are also enabled for these
aliased paths, this could allow for remote code execution.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.49 through 2.4.50.

Solution:
Update to version 2.4.51 or later.

CVSS Score:
7.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
