Network-accessible proxy requires no auth; scope changes because HTTP/1 downstream clients - not ATS - bear the response injection impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Apache Traffic Server forwards HTTP/2 origin trailers to HTTP/1 clients without proper chunked framing when converting HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 10.0.0 through 10.1.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fix the issue.
AnalysisAI
HTTP/2-to-HTTP/1 protocol conversion in Apache Traffic Server 10.0.0-10.1.3 forwards origin HTTP/2 trailers to downstream HTTP/1 clients without the required chunked transfer encoding framing, enabling HTTP response smuggling. The CVSS 8.3 Scope:Changed rating reflects that exploitation impacts downstream HTTP/1 clients architecturally separate from ATS itself, with potential for cache poisoning, response injection, and limited information disclosure. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires Apache Traffic Server to be deployed as a reverse proxy where the origin-facing connection uses HTTP/2 and the client-facing connection uses HTTP/1.1 - the specific mixed-protocol topology that triggers the vulnerable conversion path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.3 score is driven by the S:C (Scope Changed) designation, which is well-justified - downstream HTTP/1 clients are distinct from ATS itself and bear the impact of response injection. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who controls or can influence an HTTP/2 origin server response sends a reply containing HTTP/2 trailers with crafted content. ATS forwards those trailers to a downstream HTTP/1 client without proper chunked framing, causing the client to misinterpret the response boundary and treat the trailer data as the beginning of a subsequent HTTP response. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Apache Traffic Server to version 10.1.4 (for 10.x branch) or 9.2.15 (for 9.x branch), as confirmed by the Apache vendor advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
