The following vulnerability was published for modsecurity-apache. CVE-2025-48866[0]: | ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application | firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Versions prior to | 2.9.10 contain a denial of service vulnerability similar to | GHSA-859r-vvv8-rm8r/CVE-2025-47947. The `sanitiseArg` (and | `sanitizeArg` - this is the same action but an alias) is vulnerable | to adding an excessive number of arguments, thereby leading to | denial of service.
