CVE-2026-89282
UnknownSummary
The Apache Lounge Windows distribution of Apache HTTP Server build contains an insecure installation directory permissions vulnerability through its default install directory on C:\, which inherits write access for Authenticated Users.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated user can modify files in the Apache installation directory, potentially leading to malicious code execution or compromise of server integrity.
Recommendation
Change permissions on the Apache installation directory to restrict access to trusted administrators only, and consider moving the installation to a more secure location.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server
See all- CVE-2026-89281Unknown
The Apache Lounge Windows distribution of Apache HTTP Server build contains a hardcoded configuration path vulnerability within openssl.cnf path that can allow local code execution.
- CVE-2017-9798High
Apache httpd allows remote attackers to read secret data from process memory if the Limit directive can be set in a user's .htaccess file, or if httpd.conf has certain misconfigurations. This affects the Apache HTTP Server through 2.2.34 and 2.4.x through 2.4.27.
- CVE-2016-8743High
Apache HTTP Server, in all releases prior to 2.2.32 and 2.4.25, was liberal in the whitespace accepted from requests and sent in response lines and headers. This acceptance of different behaviors represented a security concern when httpd participates in any chain of proxies or interacts with back-end application servers.
- CVE-2016-5387High
Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.23 does not protect applications from untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, allowing remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.
- CVE-2016-4979High
Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.18 to 2.4.20, when mod_http2 and mod_ssl are enabled, improperly recognize the 'SSLVerifyClient require' directive for HTTP/2 request authorization. This allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
- CVE-2024-40725Medium
A partial fix for CVE-2024-39884 in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.61 ignores some legacy content-type based configurations like AddType. Under certain circumstances with indirect file requests, this can lead to source code disclosure of local content.
- CVE-2024-36387Medium
Serving WebSocket protocol upgrades over an HTTP/2 connection could result in a Null Pointer dereference, leading to a crash of the server process, degrading performance.
- CVE-2024-38477Medium
Null pointer dereference in mod_proxy in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier allows an attacker to crash the server via a malicious request.
- CVE-2023-38709Medium
Faulty input validation in the core of Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.58 allows malicious or exploitable backend/content generators to split HTTP responses, leading to HTTP response splitting attacks.
- CVE-2024-24795Medium
HTTP Response splitting in multiple modules in Apache HTTP Server allows an attacker that can inject malicious response headers into backend applications to cause an HTTP desynchronization attack.
