Report: Latest: CVE-2026-42581 - Netty: HTTP/1.0 TE+CL Coexistence Bypasses Smuggling Sanitization

CVE ID :CVE-2026-42581 Published : May 13, 2026, 7:17 p.m. | 29 minutes ago Description :Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, HttpObjectDecoder strips a conflicting Content-Length header when a request carries both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length, but only for HTTP/1.1 messages. The guard is absent for HTTP/1.0. An attacker that sends an HTTP/1.0 request with both headers causes Netty to decode the body as chunked while leaving Content-Length intact in the forwarded HttpMessage. Any downstream proxy or handler that trusts Content-Length over Transfer-Encoding will disagree on message boundaries, enabling request smuggling. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final. Severity: 5.8 | MEDIUM Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
