  - cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to version 0.40.0,
    cpp-httplib is vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. The server's static file handler serves GET responses
    without consuming the request body. On HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connections, the unread body bytes remain on
    the TCP stream and are interpreted as the start of a new HTTP request. An attacker can embed an arbitrary
    HTTP request inside the body of a GET request, which the server processes as a separate request. This
    issue has been patched in version 0.40.0. (CVE-2026-34441)
