Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in OWASP ModSecurity and libModSecurity up to 3.0.11. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the component Path Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-284. The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. CVE summarizes:

ModSecurity / libModSecurity 3.0.0 to 3.0.11 is affected by a WAF bypass for path-based payloads submitted via specially crafted request URLs. ModSecurity v3 decodes percent-encoded characters present in request URLs before it separates the URL path component from the optional query string component. This results in an impedance mismatch versus RFC compliant back-end applications. The vulnerability hides an attack payload in the path component of the URL from WAF rules inspecting it. A back-end may be vulnerable if it uses the path component of request URLs to construct queries. Integrators and users are advised to upgrade to 3.0.12. The ModSecurity v2 release line is not affected by this vulnerability.

The weakness was released 01/30/2024. The advisory is available at owasp.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2024-1019 since 01/29/2024. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1068 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Good afternoon,
Could You use the official cpe of the NVD Nist "trustwave:modsecurity" or "modsecurity:modsecurity" instead of the following: owasp:libmodsecurity and owasp:modsecurity?
We would appreciate it very much.
Best Regards,
TEAM CERT

Thank you, we have defined modsecurity:modsecurity because Trustwave is going to retire their support this year.
