Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-50020)
CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to smuggle HTTP requests.
The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests in HttpObjectDecoder when parsing requests with non-CRLF control characters before the request-line. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to smuggle HTTP requests.
The issue can cause request-boundary confusion when a front-end component interprets the prepended bytes differently in pipelined or multiplexed transports.
