Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in squid. The Cache Manager for Squid has rules that, by default, block access to anyone other than the maintainer. An attacker, with the ability to send a properly crafted URL, can bypass the url_regex check and gain access to the blocked resource. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Description Marian Rehak 2020-04-24 08:45:33 UTC 
Squid by default comes with rules to block access to the Cache Manager, which serves detailed server information meant for the maintainer. This rule is implemented via url_regex. The handler for url_regex rules URL decodes an incoming request. This allows an attacker to encode their URL to bypass the url_regex check, and gain access to the blocked resource.
