  • Search Apache httpd configuration files for mod_rewrite directives that may be vulnerable; use the command: grep -R '^\s*Rewrite' /etc/httpd/
  • ·Vulnerability only affects Apache HTTP Server instances where mod_rewrite is enabled and self-referential Rewrite rules are configured; not all Apache deployments are vulnerable.
  • ·The exploit requires the server to be configured with specific mod_rewrite rules that perform self-referential redirects; generic mod_rewrite usage is not necessarily vulnerable.
