CVE-2026-48005 is a missing-authentication-check vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_auth_digest module affecting versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.68 on all platforms. When Digest authentication is enabled with AuthDigestNcCheck, an unauthenticated remote client can send forged Authorization headers to force authenticated users to re-authenticate, causing a denial of service. Apache HTTP Server 2.4.69 fixes the vulnerability.
