CVE-2017-7559
Undertow vulnerable to Request Smuggling
Also known as GHSA-rj76-h87p-r3wf
Published 8 y ago · modified 4 mo ago · JSON
Summary
In Undertow 2.x before 2.0.0.Alpha2, 1.4.x before 1.4.17.Final, and 1.3.x before 1.3.31.Final, it was found that the fix for CVE-2017-2666 was incomplete and invalid characters are still allowed in the query string and path parameters. 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.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
1.91% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 80% of all scored CVEs.
