Critical · 9.1 Public exploit CVE-2025-23048 EUVD-2025-21018GHSA-gh64-76r6-qhpc

Apache HTTP Server: mod_ssl access control bypass with session resumption

Published Jul 10, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026 · Assigned by apache

Description

In some mod_ssl configurations on Apache HTTP Server 2.4.35 through to 2.4.63, an access control bypass by trusted clients is possible using TLS 1.3 session resumption.

Configurations are affected when mod_ssl is configured for multiple virtual hosts, with each restricted to a different set of trusted client certificates (for example with a different SSLCACertificateFile/Path setting). In such a case, a client trusted to access one virtual host may be able to access another virtual host, if SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck is not enabled in either virtual host.
