CVE-2026-44119 is an improper privilege management vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server affecting versions 2.4.67 and earlier, including the 2.4.0 through 2.4.67 range. The flaw arises from the handling of expressions in .htaccess files across multiple modules, allowing a local user who can author or modify .htaccess content to cause Apache to read files using the privileges of the httpd worker process rather than the author’s own privileges. Reported exploitation conditions specifically reference expression constructs such as file-based lookups within .htaccess. As a result, delegated per-directory configuration can be abused to bypass intended privilege boundaries between untrusted local content authors and the web server process.
