A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_cluster in the Apache server. This issue may allow a malicious user to add a script in the 'alias' parameter in the URL to trigger the stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. By adding a script on the alias parameter on the URL, it adds a new virtual host and adds the script to the cluster-manager page.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1778858907 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_cluster in the Apache server. This issue may allow a malicious user to     add a script in the 'alias' parameter in the URL to trigger the stored cross-site scripting (XSS)     vulnerability. By adding a script on the alias parameter on the URL, it adds a new virtual host and adds     the script to the cluster-manager page. (CVE-2023-6710)

  - A vulnerability was found in mod_proxy_cluster. The issue is that the <Directory> directive should be     replaced by the <Location> directive as the former does not restrict IP/host access as `Require ip     IP_ADDRESS` would suggest. This means that anyone with access to the host might send MCMP requests that     may result in adding/removing/updating nodes for the balancing. However, this host should not be     accessible to the public network as it does not serve the general traffic. (CVE-2024-10306)
