HTTP Request Smuggling

waitress is vulnerable HTTP request smuggling. The vulnerability exists because the library mishandled HTTP request header by not correctly parsing the Transfer-Encoding header, causing the parser to use Content-Length header instead to determine the HTTP message body size, ignoring the requests...

CRLF Injection

waitress is vulnerable to CRLF injection. The vulnerability exists due to the different ways in which carriage returns and line feed characters are parsed in the server and the client. This cab potentially lead to HTTP request smuggling and splitting vulnerabilities...

HTTP Request Smuggling: Content-Length Sent Twice in Waitress

Impact Waitress would header fold a double Content-Length header and due to being unable to cast the now comma separated value to an integer would set the Content-Length to 0 internally. So a request with: Content-Length: 10 Content-Length: 10 would get transformed to: Content-Length: 10, 10 Whic...
