CVE-2026-61812

MediumCVSS 6.3/10Last modified Nov 13, 2026

Description

ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Prior to 2.9.15 and 3.0.17, t:htmlEntityDecode recognizes only a small subset of named HTML entities, so rules that depend on the transformation can inspect different bytes than a browser or backend. Attackers can encode ASCII separators and operators with unhandled entity names, including aliases, to bypass rules that depend on the transformation. The v3 decoder also accepts prefix matches instead of requiring an exact entity-token length, which can transform invalid longer names into different bytes. This issue is fixed in versions 2.9.15 and 3.0.17.
