https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-54571
05 Aug 2025 — ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. In versions 2.9.11 and below, an attacker can override the HTTP response’s Content-Type, which could lead to several issues depending on the HTTP scenario. For example, we have demonstrated the potential for XSS and arbitrary script source code disclosure in the latest version of mod_security2. This issue is fixed in version 2.9.12.

CVE-2025-52891 – ModSecurity empty XML tag causes segmentation fault
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-52891
02 Jul 2025 — ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. In versions 2.9.8 to before 2.9.11, an empty XML tag can cause a segmentation fault. If SecParseXmlIntoArgs is set to On or OnlyArgs, and the request type is application/xml, and at least one XML tag is empty (eg <foo></foo>), then a segmentation fault occurs. This issue has been patched in version 2.9.11. A workaround involves setting SecParseXmlIntoArgs to Off. • https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/security/advisories/GHSA-gw9c-4wfm-vj3x • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •

CVE-2025-48866 – ModSecurity has possible DoS vulnerability in sanitiseArg action
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-48866
02 Jun 2025 — ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Versions prior to 2.9.10 contain a denial of service vulnerability similar to GHSA-859r-vvv8-rm8r/CVE-2025-47947. The `sanitiseArg` (and `sanitizeArg` - this is the same action but an alias) is vulnerable to adding an excessive number of arguments, thereby leading to denial of service. Version 2.9.10 fixes the issue. As a workaround, avoid using rules that contain the `sanitiseArg` (or `sanitizeArg... • https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/commit/3a54ccea62d3f7151bb08cb78d60c5e90b53ca2e • CWE-1050: Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop •

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2025-47947
21 May 2025 — ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Versions up to and including 2.9.8 are vulnerable to denial of service in one special case (in stable released versions): when the payload's content type is `application/json`, and there is at least one rule which does a `sanitiseMatchedBytes` action. A patch is available at pull request 3389 and expected to be part of version 2.9.9. No known workarounds are available. A flaw was found in the mod_s... • https://github.com/owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity/pull/3389 • CWE-1050: Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop •

CVE-2023-38199
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-38199
13 Jul 2023 — coreruleset (aka OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set) through 3.3.4 does not detect multiple Content-Type request headers on some platforms. This might allow attackers to bypass a WAF with a crafted payload, aka "Content-Type confusion" between the WAF and the backend application. This occurs when the web application relies on only the last Content-Type header. Other platforms may reject the additional Content-Type header or merge conflicting headers, leading to detection as a malformed header. • https://github.com/coreruleset/coreruleset/issues/3191 • CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion') •
