Undertow-core vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling

GHSA-mcfm-h73v-635m · CVE-2017-2666

Published · Modified

Description

It was discovered in Undertow that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive information from requests other than their own.
