Tên: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests

The product acts as an intermediary HTTP agent (such as a proxy or firewall) in the data flow between two entities such as a client and server, but it does not interpret malformed HTTP requests or responses in ways that are consistent with how the messages will be processed by those entities that are at the ultimate destination.

Unexpected State, Hide Activities, Bypass Protection Mechanism

Ghi chú: An attacker could create HTTP messages to exploit a number of weaknesses including 1) the message can trick the web server to associate a URL with another URL's webpage and caching the contents of the webpage (web cache poisoning attack), 2) the message can be structured to bypass the firewall protection mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to a web application, and 3) the message can invoke a script or a page that returns client credentials (similar to a Cross Site Scripting attack).

CVE-2022-24766

SSL/TLS-capable proxy allows HTTP smuggling when used in tandem with HTTP/1.0 services, due to inconsistent interpretation and input sanitization of HTTP messages within the body of another message

CVE-2021-37147

Chain: caching proxy server has improper input validation (CWE-20) of headers, allowing HTTP response smuggling (CWE-444) using an "LF line ending"

CVE-2020-8287

Node.js platform allows request smuggling via two Transfer-Encoding headers

CVE-2006-6276

Web servers allow request smuggling via inconsistent HTTP headers.

CVE-2005-2088

HTTP server allows request smuggling with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header

CVE-2005-2089

HTTP server allows request smuggling with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header

Các biện pháp giảm thiểu tiềm năng

Phases : Implementation
Use a web server that employs a strict HTTP parsing procedure, such as Apache [REF-433].
Phases : Implementation
Use only SSL communication.
Phases : Implementation
Terminate the client session after each request.
Phases : System Configuration
Turn all pages to non-cacheable.

Phương pháp phát hiện

Automated Static Analysis

Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)

Ghi chú ánh xạ lỗ hổng

Lý do : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Bình luận : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

Ghi chú

Request smuggling can be performed due to a multiple interpretation error, where the target is an intermediary or monitor, via a consistency manipulation (Transfer-Encoding and Content-Length headers).
