CVE-2018-11774 is a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.2) in Apache Vcl, published July 29, 2019. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 1.36%, the 71st percentile. No source names a fixed version.
Apache VCL versions 2.1 through 2.5 do not properly validate form input when adding and removing VMs to and from hosts. The form data is then used in SQL statements. This allows for an SQL injection attack. Access to this portion of a VCL system requires admin level rights. Other layers of security seem to protect against malicious attack. However, all VCL systems running versions earlier than 2.5.1 should be upgraded or patched. This vulnerability was found and reported to the Apache VCL project by ADLab of Venustech.
