Details
Summary
CVE-2023-6710 refers to a vulnerability discovered in Apache server's mod_proxy_cluster module. This issue enables a malicious user to inject a script into the 'alias' parameter of a URL, leading to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can add a new virtual host and insert the script into the cluster-manager page, potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive information or taking control of user sessions. This flaw poses a significant risk to websites using the Apache server with mod_proxy_cluster enabled and encourages administrators to apply the necessary patches or updates as soon as possible.
