CVE-2000-1205
MediumExploitation Probability (EPSS)
Very high risk98th percentile - higher than 98% of all known CVEs
Summary
Apache versions from 1.3.0 to 1.3.11 have cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that allow remote attackers to execute scripts as other site visitors. These issues occur in CGI scripts, error responses, and messages generated by certain Apache modules.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to steal user session data or inject malicious code, potentially leading to serious security breaches within the organization.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Apache to the latest version to eliminate these vulnerabilities and implement appropriate security measures such as output encoding and adding charset to responses.
Original NVD description (English source)
Cross site scripting vulnerabilities in Apache 1.3.0 through 1.3.11 allow remote attackers to execute script as other web site visitors via (1) the printenv CGI (printenv.pl), which does not encode its output, (2) pages generated by the ap_send_error_response function such as a default 404, which does not add an explicit charset, or (3) various messages that are generated by certain Apache modules or core code. NOTE: the printenv issue might still exist for web browsers that can render text/plain content types as HTML, such as Internet Explorer, but CVE regards this as a design limitation of those browsers, not Apache. The printenv.pl/acuparam vector, discloser on 20070724, is one such variant.
