CWE-444

Allowed

Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling')

Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete

The product acts as an intermediary HTTP agent (such as a proxy or firewall) in the data flow between two entities such as a client and server, but it does not interpret malformed HTTP requests or responses in ways that are consistent with how the messages will be processed by those entities that are at the ultimate destination.

701 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
AIOHTTP is vulnerable to HTTP Request/Response Smuggling through incorrect parsing of chunked trailer sections
Details

Summary

The Python parser is vulnerable to a request smuggling vulnerability due to not parsing trailer sections of an HTTP request.

Impact

If a pure Python version of aiohttp is installed (i.e. without the usual C extensions) or AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled, then an attacker may be able to execute a request smuggling attack to bypass certain firewalls or proxy protections.

Details

Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit ff45d3b, fails to reconcile conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked headers, forwarding both verbatim to the backend while using Content-Length to determine how many request body bytes to consume. Remote attackers can desynchronize the proxy and backend parser state, allowing injection of arbitrary HTTP requests to the backend to enable cache poisoning, access control bypass, and request hijacking.

Summary
HTTP Request Smuggling in Waitress: Invalid whitespace characters in headers (Follow-up)
Details

Impact

The patches introduced to fix https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/security/advisories/GHSA-m5ff-3wj3-8ph4 were not complete and still would allow an attacker to smuggle requests/split a HTTP request with invalid data.

This updates the existing CVE with ID: CVE-2019-16789

Patches

Waitress version 1.4.2 has been updated to now validate HTTP headers better to avoid the issue, completely fixing all known issues with whitespace.

Workarounds

There are no work-arounds, upgrading to Waitress 1.4.2 is highly recommended.

Details

An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in the HTTP App Server of Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication and authorization checks, hijack a legitimate user's session, or capture credentials. The vulnerability occurs when a crafted HTTP request containing both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers causes a reverse proxy and MarkLogic Server to interpret request boundaries differently.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-15 19:54 – Updated: 2026-09-15 19:54
VLAI
Summary
Http4s Ember Transfer-Encoding value parsing (TE.CL / TE.0 request smuggling)
Details

Summary

Ember's HTTP/1.1 header parser matches the Transfer-Encoding header value with a case-sensitive substring test (hValue.contains("chunked")). RFC 9112 §7 requires transfer-coding names to be compared case-insensitively. A request carrying Transfer-Encoding: Chunked (capital C) is therefore not recognised as chunked, and Ember falls back to framing by Content-Length (or zero if absent) while a compliant intermediary frames the same bytes by chunked encoding. The two parsers then disagree on where the request body ends, enabling HTTP request smuggling (TE.CL / TE.0).

The same line of code admits two further variants:

  • The substring test misfires on Transfer-Encoding: notchunked (an inverse desync — Ember treats it as chunked while a compliant intermediary rejects the unknown coding).
  • Header field bytes are decoded with the platform-default charset. Under UTF-8 the wire bytes E2 84 AA decode to U+212A KELVIN SIGN, which String.equalsIgnoreCase Unicode-case-folds to k, so Transfer-Encoding: chun<U+212A>ed matches chunked once the comparison is made case-insensitive without also pinning the decode to ISO-8859-1.

Impact

Server

Request smuggling when ember-server is an origin behind an intermediary that honours Transfer-Encoding case-insensitively per RFC, forwards the header value verbatim, and reuses keep-alive connections to the backend:

  • Front-end security bypass: the smuggled request reaches paths the intermediary's ACL/auth layer would have blocked, with attacker-chosen method and headers.
  • Cross-user request hijack: a partial smuggled prefix left in Ember's connection buffer is concatenated with the next victim's request on the same pooled backend connection, exposing its headers (e.g. Cookie, Authorization) to the attacker.
  • Cache poisoning: the smuggled response is associated with the next request key in a caching proxy.

Client

ember-client shares the same HeaderP.parse on the response path, enabling response smuggling when http4s is used as a gateway. This is less severe: it requires a malicious or compromised upstream rather than an anonymous remote client.

Preconditions

  • Unauthenticated remote attacker (server)
  • ember-server as origin behind a keep-alive intermediary
  • Intermediary treats Transfer-Encoding case-insensitively (per RFC) and forwards the header value without lowercasing it
  • Malicious or compromised upstream (client)

Workarounds

  • Intermediary fully buffers and re-encodes request bodies (e.g. nginx with default proxy_request_buffering on)
  • Intermediary normalises the Transfer-Encoding value (lowercases the token) before forwarding
  • Disable backend keep-alive between the intermediary and Ember

  "details": "## Summary\n\nEmber\u0027s HTTP/1.1 header parser matches the `Transfer-Encoding` header value\nwith a case-sensitive substring test (`hValue.contains(\"chunked\")`). RFC\n9112 \u00a77 requires transfer-coding names to be compared case-insensitively. A\nrequest carrying `Transfer-Encoding: Chunked` (capital C) is therefore not\nrecognised as chunked, and Ember falls back to framing by `Content-Length`\n(or zero if absent) while a compliant intermediary frames the same bytes by\nchunked encoding. The two parsers then disagree on where the request body\nends, enabling HTTP request smuggling (TE.CL / TE.0).\n\nThe same line of code admits two further variants:\n\n- The substring test misfires on `Transfer-Encoding: notchunked` (an inverse\n  desync \u2014 Ember treats it as chunked while a compliant intermediary\n  rejects the unknown coding).\n- Header field bytes are decoded with the platform-default charset. Under\n  UTF-8 the wire bytes `E2 84 AA` decode to U+212A KELVIN SIGN, which\n  `String.equalsIgnoreCase` Unicode-case-folds to `k`, so\n  `Transfer-Encoding: chun\u003cU+212A\u003eed` matches `chunked` once the comparison\n  is made case-insensitive without also pinning the decode to ISO-8859-1.\n\n## Impact\n\n### Server\n\nRequest smuggling when ember-server is an origin behind an intermediary that\nhonours `Transfer-Encoding` case-insensitively per RFC, forwards the header\nvalue verbatim, and reuses keep-alive connections to the backend:\n\n- Front-end security bypass: the smuggled request reaches paths the\n  intermediary\u0027s ACL/auth layer would have blocked, with attacker-chosen\n  method and headers.\n- Cross-user request hijack: a partial smuggled prefix left in Ember\u0027s\n  connection buffer is concatenated with the next victim\u0027s request on the\n  same pooled backend connection, exposing its headers (e.g. `Cookie`,\n  `Authorization`) to the attacker.\n- Cache poisoning: the smuggled response is associated with the next request\n  key in a caching proxy.\n\n### Client\n\nember-client shares the same `HeaderP.parse` on the response path, enabling\nresponse smuggling when http4s is used as a gateway. This is less severe: it\nrequires a malicious or compromised upstream rather than an anonymous remote\nclient.\n\n## Preconditions\n\n- Unauthenticated remote attacker (server)\n- ember-server as origin behind a keep-alive intermediary\n- Intermediary treats `Transfer-Encoding` case-insensitively (per RFC) and\n  forwards the header value without lowercasing it\n- Malicious or compromised upstream (client)\n\n## Workarounds\n\n- Intermediary fully buffers and re-encodes request bodies (e.g. nginx with\n  default `proxy_request_buffering on`)\n- Intermediary normalises the `Transfer-Encoding` value (lowercases the\n  token) before forwarding\n- Disable backend keep-alive between the intermediary and Ember",

VLAI
Details

http4k (Maven package org.http4k:http4k-core) before 6.49.0.0, 5.42.0.0 and 4.51.0.0 uses substring (Contains) matching on the Host header by default in reverseProxy() and reverseProxyRouting() when dispatching to configured virtual hosts. If these functions are deployed as a public-facing inbound HTTP handler with two or more configured virtual hosts, a remote attacker can supply a Host header that merely contains a configured vhost name (for example Host: admin.evil.com for a vhost configured as "admin") and be routed to that vhost, bypassing routing-based authorization. The intended outbound-dispatch and test-time uses, where the Host value is set by the calling application, are not affected.

Summary
Puma's header normalization allows for client to clobber proxy set headers
Details

Impact

Clients could clobber values set by intermediate proxies (such as X-Forwarded-For) by providing a underscore version of the same header (X-Forwarded_For). Any users trusting headers set by their proxy may be affected. Attackers may be able to downgrade connections to HTTP (non-SSL) or redirect responses, which could cause confidentiality leaks if combined with a separate MITM attack.

Patches

v6.4.3/v5.6.9 now discards any headers using underscores if the non-underscore version also exists. Effectively, allowing the proxy defined headers to always win.

Workarounds

Nginx has a underscores_in_headers configuration variable to discard these headers at the proxy level.

Any users that are implicitly trusting the proxy defined headers for security or availability should immediately cease doing so until upgraded to the fixed versions.

Mitigation
Implementation

Use a web server that employs a strict HTTP parsing procedure, such as Apache [REF-433].

Mitigation
Implementation

Use only SSL communication.

Mitigation
Implementation

Terminate the client session after each request.

Mitigation
System Configuration

Turn all pages to non-cacheable.

CAPEC-273: HTTP Response Smuggling

An adversary manipulates and injects malicious content in the form of secret unauthorized HTTP responses, into a single HTTP response from a vulnerable or compromised back-end HTTP agent (e.g., server).

See CanPrecede relationships for possible consequences.

CAPEC-33: HTTP Request Smuggling

An adversary abuses the flexibility and discrepancies in the parsing and interpretation of HTTP Request messages using various HTTP headers, request-line and body parameters as well as message sizes (denoted by the end of message signaled by a given HTTP header) by different intermediary HTTP agents (e.g., load balancer, reverse proxy, web caching proxies, application firewalls, etc.) to secretly send unauthorized and malicious HTTP requests to a back-end HTTP agent (e.g., web server).

See CanPrecede relationships for possible consequences.
