CVE-2007-1359

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.8)—💥 Exploit

Interpretation conflict in ModSecurity (mod_security) 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass request rules via application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST data that contains an ASCIIZ (0x00) byte, which mod_security treats as a terminator even though it is still processed as normal data by some HTTP parsers including PHP 5.2.0, and possibly parsers in Perl, and Python.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.83%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
Score date: 10/17/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
