CVE-2026-28898
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
swift-nio-http2's HTTP/2-to-HTTP/1.1 codec did not validate pseudo-header values for control characters before placing them into the translated HTTP/1.1 message. swift-nio-http2 1.44.1 adds validation of all pseudo-header values (:path, :authority, :scheme, :method, and :status) at both the HPACK header validation layer and the HTTP/2-to-HTTP/1.1 translation layer. Requests or responses containing CR, LF, or NUL bytes in any pseudo-header value are now rejected with a connection error. This issue is fixed in swift-nio-http2 1.44.1.

Las solicitudes o respuestas que contienen bytes CR, LF o NUL en cualquier valor de pseudo-encabezado ahora son rechazadas con un error de conexión.
