CVE-2026-42356
Deployment of wrong handler vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server allows the target of some internal redirects from CGI programs to also be treated as CGI and executed.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

The target must already be in a directory enabled for CGI and have no other extension understood by mod_mime. This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.60 through 2.4.68.
