Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests in Apache Tomcat - CVE-2023-46589

Vulnerability identifier: #VU83533

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4 BT: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46589

CWE-ID: CWE-444

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when parsing malformed trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
