We are doing a security audit. The software saw the unpatched version in the MacOS and flagged it as a violation – so that is what needs to be patched.
We don’t use Apache at all – but it is outdated software and needs to be removed or updated. I don’t see a way to remove it from the Mac, nor do I see a way to update it.

It would be better to build from the source @apache.org rather than patching the shipped version on Mac. Definitely it requires some reading and fixing things during compilation. Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Homebrew seems to add an additional version of httpd rather than upgrading the existing built-in version.
Apache.org does not have a package for MacOS to patch the built-in Mac version of httpd.
The current MacOS that was just released this week is still including an older version of Apache.

How can we upgrade to current on the Mac?
You can use a package manager like Homebrew, but make sure you verify the package manager repository has the patched source.
Alternatively, you can obtain the source by visiting https.apache.org, and building it yourself.
There’re definitely other avenues to do this also.
