CVE-2007-6203
MEDIUMEPSS 100th pctlDescription
Apache HTTP Server 2.0.x and 2.2.x does not sanitize the HTTP Method specifier header from an HTTP request when it is reflected back in a "413 Request Entity Too Large" error message, which might allow cross-site scripting (XSS) style attacks using web client components that can send arbitrary headers in requests, as demonstrated via an HTTP request containing an invalid Content-length value, a similar issue to CVE-2006-3918.
CVSS v2 Vector
No CVSS vector data available.
Exploit Intelligence
Very high risk: more likely to be exploited than 100% of all known CVEs.
