DescriptionNVD

An escalation of privilege bug in various modules in Apache HTTP 2.4.66 and earlier allows local .htaccess authors to read files with the privileges of the httpd user.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes this issue.

AnalysisAI

Local .htaccess authors can escalate privileges to read arbitrary files as the httpd daemon user in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 and earlier. The vulnerability requires low-privilege authenticated access to create or modify .htaccess files, but exploits misconfigured module interactions to bypass intended access controls. …

Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running Apache HTTP Server 2.4.66 or earlier and identify those with .htaccess modification permissions for low-privilege users. Within 7 days: Deploy Apache HTTP Server 2.4.67 or later across all affected production systems, or implement immediate access controls restricting .htaccess file modifications to privileged administrators only. …
