Correction!
I used our test template for the rule when I e-mailed just now, but once it is 
converted to the apache httpd.conf format, the actual rule appears in the 
httpd.conf as:
RewriteRule ^/zoology/animals/reset/(\d+)$ "/auth/launchjob?Number of 
Records=$1&__poolid=animal-magic" [B,PT,L,QSA]

I just looked at the mod_rewrite.c source differences from 2.4.55 to 2.4.56 and 
it’s clear that the use of spaces in the query string of the mapped URL are the 
cause of the 403 forbidden messages.

We can update our httpd.conf mapping code, so it won’t be a problem for us, but 
it might be worth updating the mod_rewrite documentation on this?

I just completed upgrading to 2. 4. 56 from 2. 4. 55 and now we are having 
problems with existing mod_rewrite directives that use parameter substitution: 
An example of a mod_rewrite declaration we have is: RewriteCond 
%{REQUEST_METHOD} GET [NC]

I just completed upgrading to 2.4.56 from 2.4.55 and now we are having problems 
with existing mod_rewrite directives that use parameter substitution:

An example of a mod_rewrite declaration we have is:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET [NC]
RewriteRule ^/zoology/animals/reset/(\d+)$ 
"/auth/launchjob?Number_of_Records=$1&__poolid=animal-magic" [B,PT,L,QSA]

Our internal test case calls GET 
https://SERVER:PORT/zoology/animals/reset/10<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/SERVER:PORT/zoology/animals/reset/10__;!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7HnxZz_PhN$>

In 2.4.55,
this works successfully and our internal service /auth/launchjob is called with 
“Number_of_Records” = 10

However, after upgrading to 2.4.56,
The service now returns 403 Forbidden.  Calling the mapped service directly 
works okay.

In this case, the RewriteRule is not associated with mod_proxy and is used for 
REST service mapping.
The rewrite flags are 
(https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html__;!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7Hn9W_LAw3$>):
B: Escape Backreferences
PT: Passthrough
L: Last
QSA: qsappend (query string append)

It seems to me that the changes to address CVE-2023-25690 have caused 
unintended side effects?

  *) SECURITY: CVE-2023-25690: HTTP request splitting with
     mod_rewrite and mod_proxy (cve.mitre.org)
     Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions
     2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack.
     Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with
     some form of RewriteRule
     or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches
     some portion of the user-supplied request-target (URL) data and
     is then
     re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable
     substitution. For example, something like:
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteRule "^/here/(.*)" "
     
http://example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1";<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/example.com:8080/elsewhere?$1*22__;JQ!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7Hn6gkZ4bx$>
     
http://example.com:8080/elsewhere<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/example.com:8080/elsewhere__;!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7Hn2C8BrgB$>
 ; [P]
     ProxyPassReverse /here/  
http://example.com:8080/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/example.com:8080/__;!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7Hn3qX03Hd$>
     
http://example.com:8080/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/example.com:8080/__;!!FbCVDoc3r24SyHFW!_-zhgOd86kLhZzViw-FJz3SSzseF2CGIOuKLfYEr9r6zLbWV2E5lbUhjizmWgYNvRN_Ow1ApsB7Hn3qX03Hd$>
     Request splitting/smuggling could result in bypass of access
     controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to
     existing origin servers, and cache poisoning.
