Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal Vulnerability

Apache HTTP Server contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker to perform remote code execution if files outside directories configured by Alias-like directives are not under default require all denied or if CGI scripts are enabled. This CVE ID resolves an incomplete patch for CVE-2021-41773.

Each state has its own figure on its own page, never set beside another.

The series

Every census since the index began following this vulnerability, newest first.

  1. 0.0% 23 October 2026 0 of 123 announcing a full version

Affected versions

As NVD gives them, and what each site announces is held against them.

  • Apache HTTP Server v = 2.4.49
  • Apache HTTP Server v = 2.4.50

The fix is to move Apache HTTP Server to a version outside these ranges, or apply what its maker advises, and then stop announcing the version in the site's headers.

CISA set 17 November 2021 as the deadline for US federal agencies to fix it.
