Remote unauthenticated request crashes the proxy with no user interaction; impact is availability-only, so C:N/I:N/A:H, while the plugin-enabled precondition is a config dependency, not per-attack complexity, keeping AC:L.
Primary rating from Vendor (apache).

6DescriptionCVE.org
The Apache Traffic Server uri_signing and url_sig plugins can exhaust the stack or crash on attacker input.
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
Denial of service in Apache Traffic Server (8.0.0-8.1.9, 9.0.0-9.2.14, 10.0.0-10.1.3) lets remote attackers crash the proxy by sending crafted input to the uri_signing or url_sig plugins, which recurse or copy unbounded data onto the stack until it is exhausted (CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow). Only deployments that have loaded and enabled one of these URL-signing plugins are exposed; the impact is availability-only, with no confidentiality or integrity loss. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target Apache Traffic Server instance has the uri_signing plugin or the url_sig plugin loaded and enabled on a reachable route - this is the exact precondition reflected by the CVSS 4.0 AT:P metric, and installations without either plugin are not exploitable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are consistent and point to a moderate-to-high but availability-scoped risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker identifies an internet-facing Traffic Server edge node that fronts protected content using signed URLs, then sends a crafted request whose token/URI field is shaped to drive the uri_signing or url_sig parser into deep recursion or an oversized stack copy. With AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication or user interaction is needed, so a single malformed request - or a small stream of them - repeatedly crashes the proxy and denies service to legitimate users. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Traffic Server 9.2.15 (for the 9.x line) or 10.1.4 (for the 10.x line), per the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d; users on the 8.0.0-8.1.9 branch, for which no fixed 8.x release is listed, should upgrade to 9.2.15 or 10.1.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, determine if uri_signing or url_sig plugins are loaded and enabled in your Apache Traffic Server deployment; installations without these plugins are not affected. …
