DescriptionCVE.org

Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') vulnerability in Apache Tomcat via invalid chunk extension.

This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.18, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.52, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.115, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.109. Other, unsupported versions may also be affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.20, 10.1.52 or 9.0.116, which fix the issue.

AnalysisAI

HTTP request smuggling in Apache Tomcat 7.x through 11.x permits unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate request routing and bypass security controls via malformed chunk extension processing. Exploitation enables header injection, cache poisoning, and request routing manipulation without code execution. Affects Tomcat 7.0.0-7.0.109, 8.5.0-8.5.100, 9.0.0.M1-9.0.115, 10.1.0-M1-10.1.52, and 11.0.0-M1-11.0.18. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Low observed exploitation activity (EPSS 0.02%).

Technical ContextAI

CWE-444 HTTP request smuggling through inconsistent chunk extension parsing. Tomcat's HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding implementation fails to validate chunk extension syntax, allowing attackers to inject ambiguous requests that intermediary proxies and backend servers interpret differently. This desynchronization enables request boundary manipulation without requiring authentication (CVSS PR:N).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade immediately to Apache Tomcat 11.0.20, 10.1.52, or 9.0.116 depending on deployment branch. For Tomcat 8.5.x and 7.x branches (end-of-life), migrate to supported versions 9.0.116+ or implement strict HTTP parsing via fronting reverse proxy with validated chunked encoding enforcement. Deploy Web Application Firewall rules blocking malformed chunk extensions as temporary mitigation. Verify intermediary proxy configurations for consistent HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding validation.
