Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to version 0.40.0, cpp-httplib is vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. The server's static file handler serves GET responses without consuming the request body. On HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connections, the unread body bytes remain on the TCP stream and are interpreted as the start of a new HTTP request. An attacker can embed an arbitrary HTTP request inside the body of a GET request, which the server processes as a separate request. This issue has been patched in version 0.40.0.
Analysis
HTTP Request Smuggling in cpp-httplib prior to 0.40.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP requests on HTTP/1.1 keep-alive connections by embedding malicious request data in the body of GET requests that the static file handler does not consume. The unread body bytes remain on the TCP stream and are interpreted as a new request, enabling information disclosure and request manipulation without authentication or user interaction.
