NOTE: since htpasswd is normally installed as a non-setuid program, and the exploit is through command line options, perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.  However, if there are some typical or recommended configurations that use htpasswd with sudo privileges, or common products that access htpasswd remotely, then perhaps it should be included.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.4},"cwes":[],"references":["http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-09/0547.html","http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31975","http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41279","http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2007-January/051562.html","http://marc.info/?l=thttpd&m=114153031201867&w=2"],"products":["acme_labs:thttpd"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T19:42:01.759833969+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2006-1078","score":0.00539,"percentile":0.45372,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
