Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-6790)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 bypass host-based access controls and interfere with hostname-based security decisions.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 server-side request handling when processing requests with mismatched :authority and Host values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request containing conflicting host identities to bypass host-based access controls and interfere with hostname-based security decisions.

Different layers may interpret different host values from the same request, which can affect virtual host isolation, multi-tenant routing, redirect or callback URL construction, proxy trust chains, and logging.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11143)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 6.3 [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]


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. 


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-2332)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

CVSSv4: 9.1 [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]


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.
