CVE-2026-89044
CVE-2026-89044 · Netty 4.1.133.Final through 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.13.Final through 4.2.17.Final HTTP Request Smuggling via Transfer-Encoding
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Netty versions 4.1.133.Final through 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.13.Final through 4.2.17.Final fail to properly validate the final transfer coding in the Transfer-Encoding header, allowing attackers to smuggle requests by using malformed encoding declarations. Attackers can split Transfer-Encoding headers across multiple lines or use values like 'chunked, xchunked' to bypass validation and decode messages as chunked when the final coding is not chunked, enabling request smuggling attacks.
