AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
AC:H reflects that exploitation requires the specific combination of untrusted URI input and host-based security controls; S:C retained because the vulnerability enables reaching and reading from out-of-scope internal hosts.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Guzzle is an extensible PHP HTTP client. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.0.1, Guzzle gives a transport the request URI as text and supplies the Host header separately. The cURL handlers set CURLOPT_URL to the URI exactly as written and push that Host into CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER; StreamHandler does the same through fopen(). libcurl then parses the authority itself, percent-decoding it and, on an IDN-capable build, applying IDNA mapping, and uses the result to resolve, connect, name the TLS peer and address a proxy CONNECT, while the supplied Host suppresses the aligned one libcurl would have generated. For a URI host written as 127.0.0.%31, filter_var() rejects the host as an IP literal, yet libcurl decodes it to 127.0.0.1 and reaches loopback with no DNS lookup while the server receives Host: 127.0.0.%31. An attacker who influences a fetched URI can therefore reach a host the application's checks excluded and read whatever the host exposes of the response. The same divergence moves Guzzle's own decisions onto a spelling the transport does not use: no_proxy selects proxy routing from the literal host, and RedirectMiddleware decides from it whether to strip Authorization and Cookie. Exploitation requires the application to build a request URI from untrusted input and to make a host decision before handing it to Guzzle. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.0.1.
AnalysisAI
Host confusion in GuzzleHttp Guzzle before 7.15.2 and 8.0.1 allows remote attackers who can influence a fetched URI to bypass application-level host validation and reach network hosts the application intended to block, including loopback and internal addresses. The divergence occurs because PHP's filter_var() and Guzzle's own host checks operate on the literal URI text while libcurl independently percent-decodes and IDNA-maps the authority before resolving and connecting, meaning the application and transport disagree on which host is being contacted. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the application to construct a Guzzle request URI that incorporates untrusted input (e.g., a user-supplied webhook URL, proxy target, or resource URL parameter) and to enforce a host-based security control - such as a denylist of private IP ranges, loopback addresses (127.x.x.x, ::1), or specific blocked domain names - by inspecting the raw URI host string before passing it to Guzzle. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The GHSA/NVD-assigned CVSS 3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N yields a score of 7.2, reflecting unauthenticated network-reachable exploitation and a scope change enabling access to internal hosts. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker submitting a user-controlled URL to a PHP application with a webhook or asset-fetching feature provides a URI such as http://127.0.0.%31/internal-api/secrets. The application's SSRF mitigation extracts the host '127.0.0.%31', passes it to filter_var() with FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, receives false (the percent-encoded form is not a valid IP literal), and permits the request. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patches are available: upgrade to GuzzleHttp Guzzle 7.15.2 or 8.0.1 via Composer using 'composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:^7.15.2' or 'composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:^8.0.1' respectively. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all systems using GuzzleHttp Guzzle versions before 7.15.2 or 8.0.1 and deploy network firewall rules blocking outbound connections from affected servers to internal IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8) and loopback addresses. …
