A fixed version, Apache HTTP Server 2.4.71, has been released and should be installed to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not feasible, disabling HTTP/2 on the server provides a temporary mitigation. Note that application-level updates, such as WordPress security patches, do not address this underlying server vulnerability.
Description
CVE-2026-119618 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Apache HTTP Server's mod_http2 module, affecting versions 2.4.55 through 2.4.70. It arises from a race condition that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on servers with HTTP/2 enabled. The flaw was patched in version 2.4.71. Disabling HTTP/2 can serve as a temporary mitigation if patching is not immediately possible.
