Apache HTTP Server Remote Command Execution via .bat files. Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x Win32 installation is shipped with a default script, /cgi-bin/test-cgi.bat, allowing an attacker to execute commands on the server. An attacker can send a pipe character with commands appended as parameters, which are then executed by Apache
