apache-confusion-attacks

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the risk of unpatched or misconfigured Apache httpd servers vulnerable to semantic parsing ambiguities, which can lead to unauthorized access to protected resources, sensitive source code disclosure, server-side request forgery, and remote code execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Filename Confusion Exploits: Leverages URL encoding tricks like %3F to truncate file paths and bypass access controls on Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled.
• DocumentRoot and Handler Confusion: Uses path traversal and handler processing inconsistencies to access files outside the intended document root or disclose source code for server-side scripts.
• Use Case: For authorized red teamers and security assessors, this Skill enables rapid identification and exploitation of Apache confusion flaws to validate the security posture of web deployments.

Quick Start

Use the apache-confusion-attacks skill to test the target Apache server for path truncation and handler confusion vulnerabilities using the provided probe payloads.
