Summary
HTTP File Server (HFS) before 2.2c tags HTTP request log entries with the username sent during HTTP Basic Authentication, regardless of whether authentication succeeded, which might make it more difficult for an administrator to determine who made a remote request.
Exploit prediction
1.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 75% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
