CVE-2026-79768 is a path-equivalence vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server's mod_userdir module, affecting versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.68 when configured with an absolute, non-wildcard UserDir directive. Incorrect handling of the single-dot directory sequence '/./' permits bypass of path-equivalence checks and disclosure of files outside the intended per-user home directory. Apache HTTP Server 2.4.69 fixes the vulnerability.
