The 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 request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
