Subject: CVE-2026-63045: Apache HTTP Server: mod_proxy_ftp PASV address
 handling 

Severity: low 

Affected versions:

- Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.68

Description:

Improper validation of FTP PASV reply address in mod_proxy_ftp in Apache Software Foundation Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.68 on all platforms allows, in forward proxy configurations, an untrusted FTP server to cause the proxy to open a data connection to an arbitrary third-party host via a crafted PASV response.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.69, which fixes this issue.
