Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.61-1~deb12u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded from Bullseye to Bookworm. Afterwards, I noticed
that CGI scripts were active on the default host.

I investigated it and found that the upgrade seemed to have re-enabled
config-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf which I had intentionally disabled
previously, because I didn't want to have CGI enabled globally, but
rather enable it on a virtual host basis.

This created a risk because now CGI scripts could be invoked thru the
default host with no access restrictions.

I believe there should be a mechanism that allows admins to
permanently block certain config fragments, without Debian package
config/upgrade mechanism interfering and re-enabling it.

(I hope I'm not missing anything, I re-checked all default config
files before posting this report. I chose not to include my modified
config files, as they contain confidential info.)

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Ralf
