CVE-2026-104259
ModSecurity is an open source, cross platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache, IIS and Nginx. Prior to 2.9.15 and 3.0.17, msre_fn_removeComments_execute in apache2/re_tfns.c and inplace() in src/actions/transformations/remove_comments.cc implement t:removeComments by copying the character immediately after a comment terminator without re-evaluating it. Adjacent comments can therefore leave a later comment in the transformed value, allowing inline-comment obfuscation to bypass rules that depend on comment stripping. When a comment terminator is the final content, the same copy reads one byte beyond the input buffer. This issue is fixed in versions 2.9.15 and 3.0.17.
