# CVE-2003-0249

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2003-0249
- **Severity:** UNKNOWN
- **CVSS Score:** 0.03
- **CWE:** N/A
- **Published:** Feb 27, 2006
- **Last Modified:** Mar 16, 2026

## Description

PHP treats unknown methods such as "PoSt" as a GET request, which could allow attackers to intended access restrictions if PHP is running on a server that passes on all methods, such as Apache httpd 2.0, as demonstrated using a Limit directive.  NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the Apache security team, saying "It is by design that PHP allows scripts to process any request method.  A script which does not explicitly verify the request method will hence be processed as normal for arbitrary methods.  It is therefore expected behaviour that one cannot implement per-method access control using the Apache configuration alone, which is the assumption made in this report.
