From CISA
Apache HTTP Server contains an improper escaping of output vulnerability in mod_rewrite that allows an attacker to map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL, resulting in code execution or source code disclosure.
This vulnerability affects a common open-source component, third-party library, or a protocol used by different products. Please check with specific vendors for information on patching status.

Scorifya doesn't test for specific CVEs, but if patching Apache changed your headers or TLS, a fresh hardening scan helps confirm nothing regressed externally.
