NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the Apache security team, saying \"It is by design that PHP allows scripts to process any request method. A script which does not explicitly verify the request method will hence be processed as normal for arbitrary methods. It is therefore expected behaviour that one cannot implement per-method access control using the Apache configuration alone, which is the assumption made in this report.", "published_at": "2003-12-31T05:00:00.000", "updated_at": "2025-04-03T01:03:51.193", "severity": "high", "cvss_score": 7.5, "exploit_status": "unknown", "source_confidence": "official", "official_source_url": "http://www.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/display.php?id=97", "secondary_source_urls": [], "aliases": [ "CVE-2003-0249" ], "cve_ids": [ "CVE-2003-0249" ], "ghsa_ids": [], "osv_ids": [], "affected_versions": [], "fixed_versions": [], "package_name": null, "render_markdown": false, "case_path": null, "secure_code_topics": [ "request-smuggling-boundary", "proxy-trust-boundary", "path-traversal-guard", "authz-server-side-recheck" ], "status": "triage", "triage_reasons": [ "missing affected/fixed version details" ], "verification_status": "triage-manual", "verification_mode": "synthetic", "last_verified_at": null, "last_run_id": null, "evidence_bundle": null, "historical_status": null, "latest_status": null, "browser_evidence": { "required": false, "present": false, "refs": [] }, "repro_profile_id": "authz-bypass-generic", "artifact_mode": "official-image", "blocked_reason": null, "metadata": { "source_names": [ "NVD Apache HTTP Server" ], "source_kinds": [ "nvd-search" ], "candidate_count": 1 } }
