Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57804)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP/2 requests in the embed python-hyper/h2 component when mitmproxy is in a configuration where it translates HTTP/2 to HTTP/1. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
