What is CVE-2017-6413?

The mod_auth_openidc module for the Apache HTTP Server prior to version 2.1.6 contains a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bypass authentication. This occurs due to improper handling of OIDC_CLAIM_ and OIDCAuthNHeader headers within an 'AuthType oauth20' configuration. Crafting specific HTTP requests enables malicious actors to circumvent authentication mechanisms, potentially compromising user accounts and sensitive data.
