id: CVE-2018-17082

info:
  name: Apache2 - Transfer-Encoding Chunked XSS
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Apache2 PHP before 5.6.38, 7.0.x before 7.0.32, 7.1.x before 7.1.22, and 7.2.x before 7.2.10 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability caused by mishandling of chunked transfer-encoding requests in sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c. Attackers can execute malicious scripts via crafted requests by sending a specially crafted chunked request.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute malicious scripts in the context of the affected server, leading to potential session hijacking or data theft.
  remediation: |
    Update to PHP 5.6.38, 7.0.32, 7.1.22, or 7.2.10 or later versions.
