CWE-444
AllowedInconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling')
Abstraction: Base · Status: Incomplete
The product acts as an intermediary HTTP agent (such as a proxy or firewall) in the data flow between two entities such as a client and server, but it does not interpret malformed HTTP requests or responses in ways that are consistent with how the messages will be processed by those entities that are at the ultimate destination.

GHSA-44CW-V76J-7FVV
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-01 03:31 – Updated: 2026-09-01 03:31A flaw in Node.js HTTP client can cause a request desynchronization for Node.js-based forwarding proxies that rebuild outbound headers from the visible IncomingMessage headers while piping the original body to a reused backend connection.
Node.js can omit headers beyond maxHeadersCount / maxHeaderPairs from req.headers, req.rawHeaders, and req.headersDistinct, while still using those omitted headers internally for HTTP message framing. In particular, Content-Length can be hidden from userland while the request body is still delivered.
This vulnerability affects all supported release lines: Node.js 22, Node.js 24, and Node.js 26.

GHSA-45C4-8WX5-QW6W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-07-20 14:52 – Updated: 2024-09-03 21:33Impact
aiohttp v3.8.4 and earlier are bundled with llhttp v6.0.6 which is vulnerable to CVE-2023-30589. The vulnerable code is used by aiohttp for its HTTP request parser when available which is the default case when installing from a wheel.
This vulnerability only affects users of aiohttp as an HTTP server (ie aiohttp.Application), you are not affected by this vulnerability if you are using aiohttp as an HTTP client library (ie aiohttp.ClientSession).
Reproducer
from aiohttp import web
async def example(request: web.Request):
headers = dict(request.headers)
body = await request.content.read()
return web.Response(text=f"headers: {headers} body: {body}")
app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.post('/', example)])
web.run_app(app)
Sending a crafted HTTP request will cause the server to misinterpret one of the HTTP header values leading to HTTP request smuggling.
$ printf "POST / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost:8080\r\nX-Abc: \rxTransfer-Encoding: chunked\r\n\r\n1\r\nA\r\n0\r\n\r\n" \
| nc localhost 8080
Expected output:
headers: {'Host': 'localhost:8080', 'X-Abc': '\rxTransfer-Encoding: chunked'} body: b''
Actual output (note that 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' is an HTTP header now and body is treated differently)
headers: {'Host': 'localhost:8080', 'X-Abc': '', 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked'} body: b'A'
Patches
Upgrade to the latest version of aiohttp to resolve this vulnerability. It has been fixed in v3.8.5: pip install aiohttp >= 3.8.5
Workarounds
If you aren't able to upgrade you can reinstall aiohttp using AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 as an environment variable to disable the llhttp HTTP request parser implementation. The pure Python implementation isn't vulnerable to request smuggling:
$ python -m pip uninstall --yes aiohttp
$ AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1 python -m pip install --no-binary=aiohttp --no-cache aiohttp

GHSA-46Q4-43PH-C6FR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-24 22:26 – Updated: 2026-08-12 21:12Summary
blaze-server can merge HTTP/1.1 chunked-body trailer fields into Request.headers. Because trailer fields are attacker-controlled, an unauthenticated remote client can inject arbitrary header names/values (e.g. X-Forwarded-For, internal-auth headers) that a fronting proxy sanitized from the request-header section, bypassing header-based trust decisions in the application.
### Impact
Any http4s application using BlazeServerBuilder over HTTP/1.1 whose routes or middleware trust proxy-set headers (e.g., X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-Host, org-internal auth headers) is affected. Where a fronting proxy strips/normalizes those headers but forwards chunked bodies with trailers intact, an attacker can spoof client IP for allow-lists/rate-limits/audit, forge the https scheme, or inject internal-auth headers. A promoted Connection: close trailer is also honored, allowing attacker-controlled termination of pooled backend connections.
### Workarounds Deploy behind a proxy that removes trailer fields (or rejects requests that use trailers) before forwarding; until patched, avoid trust decisions based on headers that a proxy is relied upon to sanitize.

GHSA-48W2-RM65-62XX
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-10-12 17:53 – Updated: 2025-05-27 15:16Impact
Prior to puma version 5.5.0, using puma with a proxy which forwards LF characters as line endings could allow HTTP request smuggling. A client could smuggle a request through a proxy, causing the proxy to send a response back to another unknown client.
This behavior (forwarding LF characters as line endings) is very uncommon amongst proxy servers, so we have graded the impact here as "low". Puma is only aware of a single proxy server which has this behavior.
If the proxy uses persistent connections and the client adds another request in via HTTP pipelining, the proxy may mistake it as the first request's body. Puma, however, would see it as two requests, and when processing the second request, send back a response that the proxy does not expect. If the proxy has reused the persistent connection to Puma to send another request for a different client, the second response from the first client will be sent to the second client.
Patches
This vulnerability was patched in Puma 5.5.1 and 4.3.9.
Workarounds
This vulnerability only affects Puma installations without any proxy in front.
Use a proxy which does not forward LF characters as line endings.
Proxies which do not forward LF characters as line endings:
- Nginx
- Apache (>2.4.25)
- Haproxy
- Caddy
- Traefik
Possible Breakage
If you are dealing with legacy clients that want to send LF as a line ending in an HTTP header, this will cause those clients to receive a 400 error.

GHSA-4C5F-9MJ4-M247
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-05 15:07 – Updated: 2026-01-05 15:07Summary
In 2025, several vulnerabilities in the Go Standard Library were disclosed, impacting Go-based applications like flagd (the evaluation engine for OpenFeature). These CVEs primarily focus on Denial of Service (DoS) through resource exhaustion and Race Conditions in database handling.
| CVE ID | Impacted Package | Severity | Description & Impact on flagd |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-47907 | database/sql | 7.0 (High) | Race Condition: Canceling a query during a Scan call can return data from the wrong query. Critical if flagd uses SQL-based sync providers (e.g., Postgres), potentially leading to incorrect flag configurations. |
| CVE-2025-61725 | net/mail | 7.5 (High) | DoS: Inefficient complexity in ParseAddress. Attackers can provide crafted email strings with large domain literals to exhaust CPU if flagd parses email-formatted metadata. |
| CVE-2025-61723 | encoding/pem | 7.5 (High) | DoS: Quadratic complexity when parsing invalid PEM inputs. Relevant if flagd loads TLS certificates or keys via PEM files from untrusted sources. |
| CVE-2025-61729 | crypto/x509 | 7.5 (High) | Resource Exhaustion: HostnameError.Error() lacks string concatenation limits. A malicious TLS certificate with thousands of hostnames could crash flagd during connection handshakes. |
| CVE-2025-58188 | net/http | Medium | Request Smuggling: Improper header handling in HTTP/1.1. Could allow attackers to bypass security filters positioned in front of flagd sync or evaluation APIs. |
| CVE-2025-58187 | archive/zip | Medium | DoS: Improper validation of malformed ZIP archives. Impacts flagd if configured to fetch and unpack zipped configuration bundles from remote providers. |

GHSA-4F7P-27JC-3C36
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-18 19:00 – Updated: 2024-11-19 16:04Impact
When using Waitress behind a proxy that does not properly validate the incoming HTTP request matches the RFC7230 standard, Waitress and the frontend proxy may disagree on where one request starts and where it ends.
This would allow requests to be smuggled via the front-end proxy to waitress and later behavior.
There are two classes of vulnerability that may lead to request smuggling that are addressed by this advisory:
- The use of Python's
int()to parse strings into integers, leading to+10to be parsed as10, or0x01to be parsed as1, where as the standard specifies that the string should contain only digits or hex digits. - Waitress does not support chunk extensions, however it was discarding them without validating that they did not contain illegal characters
Patches
This has been fixed in Waitress 2.1.1
Workarounds
When deploying a proxy in front of waitress, turning on any and all functionality to make sure that the request matches the RFC7230 standard. Certain proxy servers may not have this functionality though and users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of waitress instead.

Mitigation
Use a web server that employs a strict HTTP parsing procedure, such as Apache [REF-433].
Mitigation
Use only SSL communication.
Mitigation
Terminate the client session after each request.
Mitigation
Turn all pages to non-cacheable.
CAPEC-273: HTTP Response Smuggling
An adversary manipulates and injects malicious content in the form of secret unauthorized HTTP responses, into a single HTTP response from a vulnerable or compromised back-end HTTP agent (e.g., server).
See CanPrecede relationships for possible consequences.
CAPEC-33: HTTP Request Smuggling
An adversary abuses the flexibility and discrepancies in the parsing and interpretation of HTTP Request messages using various HTTP headers, request-line and body parameters as well as message sizes (denoted by the end of message signaled by a given HTTP header) by different intermediary HTTP agents (e.g., load balancer, reverse proxy, web caching proxies, application firewalls, etc.) to secretly send unauthorized and malicious HTTP requests to a back-end HTTP agent (e.g., web server).
See CanPrecede relationships for possible consequences.
