Apache for Windows CGI Source Code Disclosure Vulnerability Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Tries to read source of print-env.pl with Apache for Windows
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server is affected by an information disclosure issue.
Description :
The version of Apache for Windows installed on the remote host can be
tricked into disclosing the source of its CGI scripts because of a
configuration issue. Specifically, if the CGI directory is located
within the document root, then requests that alter the case of the
directory name will bypass the mod_cgi cgi-script handler and be
treated as requests for ordinary files.

Solution :
Reconfigure Apache so that the scripts directory is located outside of
the document root.
Threat Level:
