mod_proxy a risk?

I wonder whether mod_proxy can be a security risk in Apache2.0.54,
when being enabled in conjunction with tomcat (5.5).

A machine which is open to the world (on port 80 only) is blacklisted
at cbl.abuseat.org and I wonder how come.

No. It looks like a config problem.

you should turn off your proxyrequests

ProxyRequests Off

first line in the documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

you can still use ProxyPass without using proxyrequests
