DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in ACME mini_httpd 1.30 and prior allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the HTTP request header parser in the handle_request() function

AnalysisAI

Remote unauthenticated denial of service in ACME mini_httpd 1.30 and earlier is triggered by sending crafted HTTP requests that exploit a parsing flaw in the handle_request() function's header processing logic. The attack requires no authentication, no user interaction, and is classified as automatable by CISA's SSVC framework, meaning scripted mass-scanning for vulnerable instances is feasible. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special configuration or feature flag is required - the vulnerable code path is the default HTTP request header parsing routine in handle_request(), which is invoked for every incoming HTTP request. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 base score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H accurately reflects a no-prerequisite, network-reachable DoS with high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade mini_httpd to a version beyond 1.30 once the vendor releases a patched build; no specific fixed version number has been confirmed in the available data, so administrators should monitor the vendor page at https://acme.com/software/mini_httpd/ for a release announcement. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running ACME mini_httpd 1.30 or earlier through network scanning and asset management systems, prioritizing internet-facing and DMZ-deployed instances. …
