Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Apache Traffic Server's origin_server_auth plugin. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to force the proxy into signing attacker-controlled Amazon Web Services (AWS) request headers using the proxy server's own credentials. This allows the attacker to forge authorization signatures and access or compromise backend cloud infrastructure with the proxy's delegated privileges.
