Description

Litestar is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) framework. Prior to 2.20.0, in litestar.middleware.allowed_hosts, allowlist entries are compiled into regex patterns in a way that allows regex metacharacters to retain special meaning (e.g., . matches any character). This enables a bypass where an attacker supplies a host that matches the regex but is not the intended literal hostname. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.20.0.

Analysis

Litestar versions before 2.20.0 improperly escape regex metacharacters in the allowed_hosts middleware, allowing attackers to bypass hostname validation by supplying hosts that match the compiled regex pattern but differ from intended literal hostnames. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability. …
