Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
🚨 **Essence**: Apache httpd fails to validate input correctly in `FilesMatch` expressions.…
🛡️ **Root Cause**: Improper input validation in regex matching. <br>❌ **Flaw**: The `$` anchor in regex matches a newline character (`\n`) in malicious filenames instead of just the end of the string.…
⚡ **Threshold**: **Low**. <br>🔓 **Auth**: No authentication required for the exploit logic itself (depends on server config). <br>⚙️ **Config**: Exploits the specific behavior of `FilesMatch` regex.…
🌐 **Public Exp?**: **Yes**. <br>📂 **PoCs**: Available on GitHub (e.g., `vulhub`, `nuclei-templates`, `whisp1830`). <br>🔍 **Detection**: Easily detectable using automated scanners like Nuclei.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
🔍 **Self-Check**: <br>1. Check Apache version (`httpd -v`). <br>2. Look for `FilesMatch` directives using regex with `$` anchors. <br>3. Test if filenames containing newlines bypass extension filters.
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
✅ **Fixed**: **Yes**. <br>🛠️ **Patch**: Updated in versions **2.4.30** and later. <br>📜 **Advisory**: Official security updates released by Apache and vendors like Red Hat (RHSA-2019:0367).
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
🚧 **No Patch?**: <br>1. **Upgrade** to Apache 2.4.30+ immediately. <br>2. **Mitigation**: Avoid using regex anchors like `$` in `FilesMatch` for file extension blocking.…
