CVE-2024-38476 is a handler-confusion vulnerability in the core of Apache HTTP Server 2.4.59 and earlier. Malicious or exploitable backend application response headers can cause internal redirects to invoke unintended local handlers. CGI-style local redirects can propagate an attacker-influenced Content-Type into an internally redirected request, interacting with legacy handler selection that uses the content type when no explicit handler is set. Depending on enabled handlers and application configuration, exploitation can disclose information, enable server-side request forgery, or execute local scripts.
