CVE-2026-41920 is an improper access control vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server caused by incorrect comparison of the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) value against the HTTP Host header. Apache Traffic Server compares the SNI and Host values using a length derived only from the Host header, which causes the comparison to succeed when the SNI merely has the Host value as a prefix. As a result, host-SNI policy enforcement can be bypassed. The issue affects Apache Traffic Server 9.0.0 through 9.1.14 and 10.0.0 through 10.1.3.
