CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedEmber's HTTP/1.1 parser in Http4s versions prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47 is vulnerable to request smuggling due to its acceptance of duplicate Content-Length headers, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to manipulate requests and potentially bypass security controls. This vulnerability can lead to header capture or cache poisoning, particularly when the server is behind a keep-alive intermediary. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to the patched releases to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description
Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, Ember’s HTTP/1.1 parser accepts differing duplicate Content-Length headers and uses the last value instead of rejecting the message. When an Ember server is behind a keep-alive intermediary that selects a different occurrence, an unauthenticated attacker can create CL.CL request smuggling that bypasses front-end controls, captures a later user’s headers, or poisons a cache. The shared client parser can also misframe responses from a malicious or compromised upstream when the client acts as a proxy for multiple downstream consumers. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.
