CVE-2011-4317

60
FAUCET Score

CVE-2011-4317 is a security bypass vulnerability affecting the mod_proxy module in Apache HTTP Server versions 1.3.x, 2.0.x, and 2.2.x, specifically when a particular patch (Revision 1179239) is applied. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass reverse proxy configurations, such as RewriteRule and ProxyPassMatch, by crafting a malformed URI with an "@" and ":" character, enabling access to internal intranet servers. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (medium severity) and an EPSS score of 0.84292, it indicates a moderate risk with a higher-than-average likelihood of exploitation compared to most CVEs. While not listed on the KEV catalog, an exploit is publicly available on ExploitDB, and its FAUCET Risk Score of 98/100 suggests significant potential impact despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
