Apache-SSL 1.3.28+1.52 and earlier, with SSLVerifyClient set to 1 or 3 and SSLFakeBasicAuth enabled, allows remote attackers to forge a client certificate by using basic authentication with the "one-line DN" of the target user.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects older Apache-SSL deployments using a specific client-certificate configuration. In that setup, an attacker could impersonate a certificate-authenticated user by presenting the target user’s certificate identity text through basic authentication. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apache-SSL servers that still use SSLFakeBasicAuth with SSLVerifyClient set to 1 or 3. Modern Apache or non-Apache-SSL deployments are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize this if any legacy Apache-SSL server protects sensitive systems with client certificates. The issue is old and narrowly configured, but successful exploitation could defeat certificate-based access controls. Mitigation focus: Identify any Apache-SSL 1.3.28+1.52 or earlier deployments.; Disable SSLFakeBasicAuth where it is not strictly required.; Review SSLVerifyClient settings for values 1 or 3..
