7.5 HIGH

Request smuggling requires a proxy front-end with divergent header parsing (AC:H); scope changes (S:C) as the attack crosses request boundaries to affect other users' sessions.

DescriptionCVE.org

Gracefulness code ignored cases that should be rejected, resulting in possible HTTP Request Smuggling opportunities.

This issue affects OTP from OTP 22.2 before OTP 27.3.4.17, from OTP 28.0 before OTP 28.5.0.6, and from OTP 29.0 before OTP 29.0.6, corresponding to inets from 7.1.2 before 9.3.2.7, from 9.4 before 9.6.2.3, and from 9.7 before 9.7.2.

AnalysisAI

Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit Erlang/OTP's built-in inets HTTP server across OTP versions 22.2 through 29.0 to conduct HTTP Request Smuggling by sending headers with whitespace before the colon - a malformed construct the server silently discarded rather than rejecting as mandated by RFC 7230 Section 3.2.4. When inets is deployed behind a front-end proxy or load balancer that interprets such headers differently, the resulting parsing discordance creates a desynchronized request boundary exploitable for session hijacking, authentication bypass, or cache poisoning. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two simultaneous conditions: the target must run a vulnerable Erlang/OTP inets HTTP server (OTP 22.2 through 29.0 before patched versions), AND the inets server must be deployed behind a front-end proxy or load balancer whose HTTP header parsing behavior differs from inets' behavior of silently discarding headers with whitespace before the colon. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N) scores 8.3, reflecting network-accessible, unauthenticated exploitation with high integrity 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 Upgrade Erlang/OTP to the patched release for your branch: OTP 27.3.4.17 or later (inets 9.3.2.7) for the OTP 27.x line, OTP 28.5.0.6 or later (inets 9.6.2.3) for the OTP 28.x line, or OTP 29.0.6 or later (inets 9.7.2) for the OTP 29.x line. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running Erlang/OTP versions 22.2 through 29.0 in production, particularly those behind proxies or load balancers, and prepare patched versions in staging environments. …
