OAuth2-Proxy is vulnerable to header smuggling via underscore leading to potential privilege escalation

Impact All deployments of OAuth2 Proxy in front of applications that normalize underscores to dashes in HTTP headers e.g., WSGI-based frameworks such as Django, Flask, FastAPI, and PHP applications. Authenticated users can inject underscore variants of X-Forwarded- headers that bypass the proxy’s...

CVE-2025-64484

A header-smuggling vulnerability was found in OAuth2-Proxy’s handling of HTTP headers containing underscores such as XForwardedFor. The proxy failed to properly normalize these header names, which could allow crafted requests to bypass header validation or filtering. When OAuth2-Proxy is deployed...
