Descriptions

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.53 and earlier may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. This may be used to bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application.

Apache HTTP Server versiones 2.4.53 y anteriores, no envían los encabezados X-Forwarded-* al servidor de origen basándose en el mecanismo hop-by-hop del encabezado de conexión del lado del cliente. Esto puede usarse para evitar la autenticación basada en la IP en el servidor de origen/aplicación

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy module of httpd. The server may remove the X-Forwarded-* headers from a request based on the client-side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism.

*Credits: The Apache HTTP Server project would like to thank Gaetan Ferry (Synacktiv) for reporting this issue
