Network-exploitable URL parsing bypass requiring authenticated proxy access (PR:L) and specific URL crafting (AC:H); Changed scope (S:C) reflects proxy-to-backend boundary crossing with no availability impact.
Primary rating from Vendor (apache).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Apache Traffic Server mis-parses ports in URLs and userinfo, allowing port-based access-control bypass.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.9, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.14, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fix the issue.
AnalysisAI
Port-based access-control bypass in Apache Traffic Server stems from URL and userinfo mis-parsing that causes the proxy to evaluate ACL rules against an incorrect port value, allowing restricted backend ports to be reached. All three maintained release branches are affected - 8.0.0 through 8.1.9, 9.0.0 through 9.2.14, and 10.0.0 through 10.1.3 - meaning the majority of deployed ATS instances are vulnerable. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network access to an Apache Traffic Server instance with at least low-privilege authenticated access (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.9 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N accurately represents a nuanced threat profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with low-privilege access to an ATS proxy instance crafts a request URI containing a malformed port value embedded in the userinfo component or host:port field - for example, encoding a target port in a way that ATS's parser interprets differently from the ACL engine. ATS evaluates the ACL against the mis-parsed (and permitted) port, forwards the request to the actual restricted backend port, and returns the response to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Traffic Server 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, the vendor-confirmed fixed releases per the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
