What is CVE-2012-4001?

The mod_pagespeed module for Apache HTTP Server prior to version 0.10.22.6 fails to validate hostnames correctly. This oversight allows remote attackers to exploit the module to send HTTP requests to arbitrary hosts. As a result, attackers can potentially reach internal resources or intranet servers, exposing sensitive information and systems to unauthorized access. It is essential for users of this module to upgrade to the patched version to mitigate this security risk.
