CVE-2022-2255: Incorrect header handling in mod-wsgi
(updated )
A vulnerability was found in mod_wsgi. The X-Client-IP header is not removed from a request from an untrusted proxy, allowing an attacker to pass the X-Client-IP header to the target WSGI application because the condition to remove it is missing.
