Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
The Apache Traffic Server intercept plugin has a use-after-free.
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 (versions 8.0.0-8.1.9, 9.0.0-9.2.14, and 10.0.0-10.1.3) arises from a use-after-free (CWE-416) in the intercept plugin, allowing a remote attacker to crash or destabilize the proxy server. The flaw carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.2, driven entirely by high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity effect, and exploitation depends on a specific attack condition (AT:P) rather than being trivially reproducible. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target Apache Traffic Server deployment loads and uses the intercept plugin - that is the exact feature that contains the vulnerable use-after-free code path; instances not using the intercept plugin are not exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are moderate and internally consistent on impact but limited on exploitation likelihood. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach an internet-facing Apache Traffic Server that loads the intercept plugin sends crafted requests or manipulates connection timing/teardown to trigger the use-after-free, causing the proxy process to dereference freed memory and crash. Because exploitation carries an attack requirement (AT:P), the attacker may need to hit a specific race or connection state, potentially repeating the attempt to reliably crash the service. … |
| 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), as directed in the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct a complete inventory of all Apache Traffic Server deployments across your infrastructure and confirm which versions are running in each environment, prioritizing production systems running 8.0.0-8.1.9, 9.0.0-9.2.14, or 10.0.0-10.1.3. …
