CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-39573
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by a flaw in the mod_rewrite. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause unsafe RewriteRules to unexpectedly setup URL’s to be handled by mod_proxy.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296120 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-38475
**DESCRIPTION:**Improper escaping of output in mod_rewrite in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure. Substitutions in server context that use a backreferences or variables as the first segment of the substitution are affected. Some unsafe RewiteRules will be broken by this change and the rewrite flag “UnsafePrefixStat” can be used to opt back in once ensuring the substitution is appropriately constrained.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/296124 for the current score.
