Details

guzzlehttp/psr7 is a PSR-7 HTTP message library implementation in PHP. Versions prior to 2.10.2 contain improper Host header validation when parsing raw HTTP request messages and when deriving a server request URI from server variables. An attacker can provide a malformed Host header containing URI authority delimiters, such as `trusted.example@evil.example`. When the Host value is used to construct a URI, the malformed value can be reinterpreted as URI userinfo and host. This can cause the PSR-7 request URI host to differ from the original Host header value. Applications are affected if they parse attacker-controlled raw HTTP requests with `GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Message::parseRequest()` or the legacy 1.x `GuzzleHttp\Psr7\parse_request()` function, or if they build server requests from attacker-controlled server variables, then rely on the resulting URI host for routing, allow-list checks, or forwarding decisions. In affected forwarding or gateway scenarios, this may cause requests or credentials to be sent to an unintended host. The issue is patched in `2.10.2`. `1.x` is end-of-life and will not receive a patch. Some workarounds are available. Validate the `Host` header as `uri-host [ ":" port ]` before calling `Message::parseRequest()` or legacy `parse_request()` on untrusted HTTP request data, or before deriving routing and forwarding decisions from a parsed request URI. Reject Host values containing userinfo, path, query, or fragment delimiters.
