Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Apache HTTP Server - CVE-2024-43204

Published: July 10, 2025 / Updated: July 10, 2025


Vulnerability identifier: #VU112733
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43204
CWE-ID: CWE-918
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in mod_proxy . A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Note, the vulnerability exploitation requires an unlikely configuration where mod_headers is configured to modify the Content-Type request or response header with a value provided in the HTTP request.
