There is a request smuggling vulnerability in async-h1 before version 2.3.0. This vulnerability affects any webserver that uses async-h1 behind a reverse proxy, including all such Tide applications. If the server does not read the body of a request which is longer than some buffer length, async-h1 will attempt to read a subsequent request from the body content starting at that offset into the body. One way to exploit this vulnerability would be for an adversary to craft a request such that the body contains a request that would not be noticed by a reverse proxy, allowing it to forge forwarded/x-forwarded headers. If an application trusted the authenticity of these headers, it could be misled by the smuggled request. Another potential concern with this vulnerability is that if a reverse proxy is sending multiple http clients' requests along the same keep-alive connection, it would be possible for the smuggled request to specify a long content and capture another user's request in its body. This content could be captured in a post request to an endpoint that allows the content to be subsequently retrieved by the adversary. This has been addressed in async-h1 2.3.0 and previous versions have been yanked." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 6.8, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "CHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/http-rs/async-h1/security/advisories/GHSA-4vr9-8cjf-vf9c", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/http-rs/async-h1/security/advisories/GHSA-4vr9-8cjf-vf9c" }, { "name": "https://github.com/http-rs/async-h1/releases/tag/v2.3.0", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/http-rs/async-h1/releases/tag/v2.3.0" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-4vr9-8cjf-vf9c", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
