An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2004-0173 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apache Http Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-0173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0173/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-0173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p97v-fpq8-vh9w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on Apache servers running on Cygwin via encoded backslash sequences in URLs.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache 1.3.29 and earlier, and Apache 2.0.48 and earlier, when running on Cygwin, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a URL containing \"..%5C\" (dot dot encoded backslash) sequences.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2004-02-24","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2004-02-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"23751","stars":null,"title":"Apache Cygwin 1.3.x/2.0.x - Directory Traversal"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0173","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apache:http_server","products":["apache:http_server"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0174"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0172"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2004-09-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-42013","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Improper Escaping of Output","id":"CVE-2024-38475","kev_date_added":"2025-05-01","published":"2024-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-40438","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-09-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-0211","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-04-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-41773","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on Apache servers running on Cygwin via encoded backslash sequences in URLs.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0173/"}
