CVE-2024-38476: Apache HTTP Server may use exploitable/malicious backend application output to run local handlers via internal redirect
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 51/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 41.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.6% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Vulnerability in core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier are vulnerably to information disclosure, SSRF or local script execution via backend applications whose response headers are malicious or exploitable. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.60, which fixes this issue.
