Discussion

Lighttpd URI Rewrite/Redirect Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Lighttpd is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because it performs redirect operations on URIs before decoding them.

Attackers can exploit this issue to bypass expected filters or rewrite rules and may gain unauthorized access to certain resources. Other attacks may also be possible.

Versions prior to Lighttpd 1.4.20 are vulnerable.
