Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11143)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to a differential parsing of URIs between different components of the application. A remote attacker can use such behavior to bypass implemented security restrictions.
2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-2332)
CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP requests.
The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests in the chunked transfer encoding extension parser when parsing quoted strings in HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding extension values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted chunked HTTP request to inject arbitrary HTTP requests.
The issue occurs because CRLF sequences inside quoted strings are treated as chunk header terminators instead of parsing errors.
