Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 9.2.0 through 9.2.14, from 10.1.0 through 10.1.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Improper input validation in Apache Traffic Server versions 9.2.0-9.2.14 and 10.1.0-10.1.3 lets remote attackers send malformed input that the proxy fails to validate, allowing manipulation of the integrity of downstream/backend traffic (e.g. request smuggling or response manipulation against systems behind the proxy). …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reach to an affected Apache Traffic Server instance (9.2.0-9.2.14 or 10.1.0-10.1.3) operating in its proxy role, and the ability to send crafted/malformed HTTP input that triggers the improper validation; per CVSS 4.0 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no special attack requirements, and no user interaction are needed against a reachable instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are moderately consistent but incomplete. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request with malformed or ambiguous framing/headers to an internet-facing Apache Traffic Server proxy on an affected version. Because ATS improperly validates the input, the request is relayed to a backend in a way the backend interprets differently, letting the attacker manipulate or poison downstream traffic (e.g. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Traffic Server 9.2.15 (for the 9.2.x branch) or 10.1.4 (for the 10.1.x branch), per the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct a complete inventory of all Apache Traffic Server instances running the affected versions (9.2.0-9.2.14 and 10.1.0-10.1.3) and document their production criticality. …
