2) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU93542
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38475
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches filesystem path. A remote attacker can map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL and view contents of files or execute arbitrary code.
