What is CVE-2024-10306?
CVE-2024-10306 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, published on 23 Apr 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A vulnerability was found in mod_proxy_cluster. The issue is that the <Directory> directive should be replaced by the <Location> directive as the former does not restrict IP/host access as `Require ip IP_ADDRESS` would suggest. This means that anyone with access to the host might send MCMP requests that may result in adding/removing/updating nodes for the balancing. However, this host should not be accessible to the public network as it does not serve the general traffic.
Weakness: CWE-863
