Patching httpd in MacOS?

We are doing a security audit and it shows the httpd in the MacOS is outdated and needs to be upgraded to the current version. But there is no Mac installer for httpd. Apple doesn't seem to have an installer available to update it either. 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.
