Last modified

CVE-2024-47252 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Insufficient escaping of user-supplied data in mod_ssl in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.63 and earlier allows an untrusted SSL/TLS client to insert escape characters into log files in some configurations. In a logging configuration where CustomLog is used with "%{varname}x" or "%{varname}c" to log variables provided by mod_ssl such as SSL_TLS_SNI, no escaping is performed by either mod_log_config or mod_ssl and unsanitized data provided by the client may appear in log files.. EPSS estimates a 0.67% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
