SECURITY POSTURE
Apache's security posture is severely compromised by a relentless history of critical and high-severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities across its core projects, indicating systemic weaknesses in input validation, deserialization, and access control implementations.
Notable failures
- CVE-2021-44228 Log4j2 RCE
- CVE-2023-46604 ActiveMQ RCE
- CVE-2021-42013 HTTP Server RCE
- CVE-2021-41773 HTTP Server RCE
- CVE-2021-45046 Log4j2 RCE
- CVE-2021-40438 HTTP Server RCE
Patterns: repeated unpatched deserialization RCEs; path traversal leading to RCE; improper access control in core components; vulnerabilities in widely deployed web server and data processing frameworks
