Improper Authentication in Apache HTTP Server - CVE-2022-31813

Vulnerability identifier: #VU64089

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31813

CWE-ID: CWE-287

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in mod_proxy implementation, where the web server may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. A remote attacker can bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application and gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.
