AI Analysis

Impact

Apache Traffic Server can improperly reuse server sessions, potentially exposing data between client connections. The flaw arises when the server reuses tunnel identifiers across distinct client streams without isolation, creating a confidentiality breach classified as CWE-200. If exploited, an attacker could read sensitive information that was meant for other clients, potentially revealing proprietary or personal data.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects Apache Traffic Server versions 8.0.0 through 8.1.9, 9.0.0 through 9.2.14, and 10.0.0 through 10.1.3. The product is maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. Administrators deploying any of these releases should verify whether they are running the affected versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of active exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, implying it has not yet been widely abused. The likely attack vector is an attacker who can inject or control traffic through multiple client connections, inferred from the description of normal session pooling. Successful exploitation would allow data destined for one client to be read by another client connected to the same proxy server, compromising confidentiality.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Apache Traffic Server to at least version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which include the fix for improper session reuse.
  • After the upgrade, perform functional tests to confirm that session reuse no longer occurs across distinct client connections, for example by monitoring session identifiers or using a test client that generates alternating traffic patterns.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, isolate client traffic by deploying separate proxy instances or applying network segmentation so that unrelated clients do not share the same server‑side tunnel.
