Remote unauthenticated attacker sends a trivial malformed chunked body over the network (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); pure infinite-loop DoS freezes the process with no confidentiality or integrity impact (A:H only).

DescriptionCVE.org

react/http is an event-driven, streaming HTTP client and server implementation for ReactPHP. From 0.6.0 until 1.11.1, React\Http\Io\ChunkedDecoder could enter an infinite loop while processing a malformed Transfer-Encoding: chunked body because handleData required its buffer to shrink on every iteration. An incomplete terminal-chunk trailer without CRLF left the buffer unchanged after strpos returned false, and exactly two non-CRLF bytes after a completed non-terminal chunk bypassed both the error and wait guards. The affected decoder processes request bodies for React\Http\HttpServer and response bodies for React\Http\Browser, allowing a malicious client to freeze a server or a malicious or compromised server to freeze a client. A reverse proxy that normalizes inbound requests may protect the server direction but does not protect outbound Browser requests. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.1.

AnalysisAI

Remote, unauthenticated denial of service affects react/http versions 0.6.0 through 1.11.0, where a malformed Transfer-Encoding: chunked body can trap React\Http\Io\ChunkedDecoder in a non-terminating loop; because ReactPHP is single-threaded and event-loop driven, one looping body halts the entire process rather than a single request. The decoder is used for inbound request bodies in React\Http\HttpServer and outbound response bodies in React\Http\Browser, so a malicious client can freeze a server and a malicious or compromised upstream server can freeze a client. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special configuration is required - remote unauthenticated exploitation works against default configurations of any service using React\Http\HttpServer (inbound request bodies) or any client using React\Http\Browser (outbound response bodies) on affected versions 0.6.0 through 1.11.0. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine availability-only issue whose real-world risk is moderate and context-dependent, not a hollow high-CVSS number. … 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 to reactphp/http 1.11.1 or later, for example via "composer require react/http:^1.11.1" (or "composer update react/http" with an appropriate constraint), which incorporates the decoder hardening in commit b6d4688790adf3797071fcf88a3fc4225f30486a; see the vendor advisory at https://github.com/reactphp/http/security/advisories/GHSA-x424-64qh-5j54 and the release at https://github.com/reactphp/http/releases/tag/v1.11.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every service and internal tool that depends on react/http by running composer show react/http (or scanning composer.lock/distributed SBOMs) for versions 0.6.0 through 1.11.0, flag those with any internet-facing listener or any dependency on third-party upstream HTTP endpoints, and validate that malformed chunked request bodies cannot reach those decoders. …
