The tweet highlights a critical security issue identified as CVE-2025-54571 affecting ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) versions 2.9.11 and below. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass the Content-Type checks implemented by ModSecurity. Content-Type validation is essential in WAFs to ensure that incoming requests have legitimate and expected content types, protecting web applications from malicious payloads that exploit content handling. In versions 2.9.11 and earlier, ModSecurity fails to properly validate or enforce Content-Type headers, enabling attackers to craft requests that evade detection and filtering by the WAF. This can lead to successful exploitation of underlying web application vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), or Remote Code Execution (RCE), which the WAF is supposed to prevent. Users of ModSecurity WAF are strongly advised to update to the latest version beyond 2.9.11 to mitigate this Content-Type Bypass issue. Keeping WAFs updated is critical to maintaining robust security postures against evolving attack techniques.
