2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
EUVDB-ID: #VU56678
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-40438
CWE-ID:
CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the mod_proxy module in Apache HTTP Server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a chosen uri-path and trick the web server to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
MitigationCybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
