curl: Duplicate chunked Transfer-Encoding lets a malicious origin smuggle a response across reused HTTP proxy connections

TL;DR A malicious HTTP origin can send Transfer-Encoding: chunked, chunked, gzip through a reusable HTTP proxy connection to bypass curl's "chunked must be last" guard, queue a forged HTTP response after its own response, and make curl parse that queued data as the response for a later request to...

SUSE CVE-2026-45352

cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to 0.43.4, negative chunk-size in chunked Transfer-Encoding causes unbounded memory allocation and process crash.

CVE-2026-45352

The CVE-2026-45352 issue affects cpp-httplib (header-only HTTP/HTTPS library). Before version 0.43.4, the ChunkedDecoder::read_payload routine parses the chunk-size in chunked Transfer-Encoding with std::strtoul(), which can silently accept a minus sign. This allows negative chunk sizes (e.g., "-...

CrowdSec AppSec silently drops request body for chunked / HTTP-2 requests

Summary The CrowdSec AppSec component fails to read the HTTP request body for any request whose Content-Length is not positive — most notably HTTP/1.1 requests using Transfer-Encoding: chunked and HTTP/2 requests sent without a content-length header. Coraza is then evaluated against an empty body...

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions crowdsec versions prior to 1.7.8 Description The AppSec component fails to read the HTTP request body when the Content-Length is not positive. This occurs specifically with HTTP/1.1 requests using Transfer-Encoding: chunked and HTTP/2 requests...

Bandit: Unauthenticated one-shot DoS via `Transfer-Encoding: chunked`

Summary Bandit's HTTP/1 chunked-body reader silently drops the request size cap that the application configures e.g. Plug.Parsers' default 8 MB length: and buffers the entire body in memory before the application sees it. An unauthenticated attacker can crash any Bandit-fronted Phoenix/Plug app...

CVE-2026-39803

CVE-2026-39803 – Bandit (Elixir) memory exhaustion via chunked HTTP/1 bodies. The issue occurs in the chunked path of Elixir.Bandit.HTTP1.Socket.read_data/2 where the caller-supplied length is ignored; every received chunk is buffered into an iolist and the entire body is materialized as a single...
