mod_proxy_ajp: Possible request smuggling

EPSS 19.0%CWE-444
In short

A flaw in Apache HTTP Server's mod_proxy_ajp module allows attackers to send hidden requests to backend AJP servers by exploiting how the module interprets HTTP requests differently than intended. This can lead to unauthorized actions or data exposure on the backend server.
