Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') vulnerability in Apache Traffic Server.
This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 10.0.0 through 10.1.3, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.14.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.15 or 10.1.4, which fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
HTTP request smuggling in Apache Traffic Server allows unauthenticated remote attackers to interfere with how the proxy and backend servers interpret HTTP request boundaries, enabling cache poisoning and limited information disclosure. Versions 9.0.0 through 9.2.14 and 10.0.0 through 10.1.3 are confirmed affected per Apache advisory. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required and no special server-side configuration is needed beyond a standard ATS reverse proxy deployment - the CVSS vector PR:N/AC:L/UI:N confirms unauthenticated, low-complexity, no-interaction exploitation against default configurations of Apache Traffic Server acting as an HTTP proxy or cache. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.2 score with S:C, PR:N, and AC:L indicates meaningful real-world risk: no authentication or special privileges are required, and exploitation crosses the proxy boundary to reach backend systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An external attacker sends a crafted HTTP/1.1 request to ATS containing ambiguous or conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers. ATS interprets the request boundaries differently than the backend application server, causing the tail of the attacker's request to be prepended to a subsequent victim user's request as parsed by the backend. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Traffic Server 9.2.15 (for 9.x deployments) or 10.1.4 (for 10.x deployments), as confirmed by the Apache advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/5prl9glcm9g2swnq9hqxvnokylm1gr6d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
