NTLM hash disclosure via encoded UNC paths
Published Dec 5, 2025 · Updated Dec 5, 2025
SSRF in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.65 on Windows allows remote attackers to disclose NTLM hashes via crafted requests. With AllowEncodedSlashes On and MergeSlashes Off, request-path decoding preserves attacker-controlled separators that Windows resolves as a UNC path. The nondefault directive pair must be enabled, and exploitation makes the server authenticate to an attacker-controlled endpoint, exposing NTLM hashes.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
