CVE-2026-79768 Oct 01, 16:18 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Information disclosure in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.68 arises from a path-equivalence flaw (CWE-55, '/./' single-dot directory) in the mod_userdir module, which mishandles the single-dot directory segment when the UserDir directive is configured with an absolute, non-wildcard path. Only deployments that load mod_userdir and use that specific second syntax form (for example 'UserDir /some/absolute/path') are exposed; servers on the default wildcard/username form, or without mod_userdir loaded, are unaffected regardless of version, so the practical exposure surface is a non-default configuration. The issue is network-reachable over HTTP and is assessed as low-confidentiality impact (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N); no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and no patch version is specified in the available advisory data.
