"value": "Se encontró una falla en mod_proxy_cluster en el servidor Apache. Este problema puede permitir que un usuario malintencionado agregue un script en el parámetro 'alias' de la URL para activar la vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Almacenado. Al agregar un script en el parámetro alias en la URL, agrega un nuevo host virtual y agrega el script a la página del administrador del clúster. El impacto de esta vulnerabilidad se considera bajo, ya que la URL cluster_manager no debe exponerse al exterior y está protegida por usuario/contraseña."
