Published: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:57
Summary
nghttp2 could allow unintended access to network services.
Details
It was discovered that the nghttp2 nghttpx proxy incorrectly handled HTTP/1.1 Upgrade requests that included a Content-Length header and body. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP request and response smuggling attacks against backend services.
