CWE ID 20

Summary

CVE-2024-1019 is a vulnerability affecting ModSecurity and libModSecurity versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.11, allowing for a bypass of the Web Application Firewall (WAF). The vulnerability occurs when specially crafted request URLs with path-based payloads are submitted. ModSecurity v3 decodes percent-encoded characters in the URL before separating the path component from the query string component, causing an impedance mismatch with RFC compliant back-end applications. This allows an attacker to hide an attack payload in the URL path from WAF rules. To remediate this vulnerability, users are advised to upgrade to version 3.0.12 of ModSecurity or libModSecurity. The potential danger posed is high, as it can lead to a compromise of the back-end system if it uses the path component of request URLs to construct queries.
