UnknownEPSS 18.80%

Last modified

CVE-2015-3185 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ap_some_auth_required function in server/request.c in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.14 does not consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging the presence of a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior.. EPSS estimates a 18.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
