4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests
EUVDB-ID: #VU68859
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42252
CWE-ID:
CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers via an invalid
Content-Length header.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks but requires Tomcat to be configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting
rejectIllegalHeader to false (not the default configuration).
