CVE-2026-39807

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision vulnerability in mtrudel bandit allows unauthenticated transport-state spoofing on plaintext HTTP connections. 'Elixir.Bandit.Pipeline':determine_scheme/2 in lib/bandit/pipeline.ex returns the client-supplied URI scheme verbatim, ignoring the transport's secure? flag. HTTP/1.1 absolute-form request targets (e.g. GET https://victim/path HTTP/1.1) and the HTTP/2 :scheme pseudo-header are both attacker-controlled strings that flow through this function. Over a plaintext TCP connection, a client can declare https and Bandit will set conn.scheme = :https even though no TLS was negotiated. Downstream Plug consumers that branch on conn.scheme are silently misled: Plug.SSL's already-secure branch skips its HTTP→HTTPS redirect, cookies emitted with secure: true are sent over plaintext, audit logs record requests as having arrived over HTTPS, and CSRF/SameSite gating may make incorrect decisions. This issue affects bandit: from 1.0.0 before 1.11.0.

Los objetivos de solicitud de formulario absoluto HTTP/1.1 (p. ej., GET https://victim/path HTTP/1.1) y el pseudo-encabezado :scheme de HTTP/2 son ambas cadenas controladas por el atacante que fluyen a través de esta función. Sobre una conexión TCP de texto plano, un cliente puede declarar https y Bandit establecerá conn.scheme = :https incluso si no se negoció TLS.\n\nLos consumidores de Plug posteriores que se ramifican en conn.scheme son engañados silenciosamente: la rama ya segura de Plug.SSL omite su redirección de HTTP a HTTPS, las cookies emitidas con secure: true se envían en texto plano, los registros de auditoría registran las solicitudes como si hubieran llegado a través de HTTPS, y la restricción de CSRF/SameSite puede tomar decisiones incorrectas.\n\nEste problema afecta a bandit: desde 1.0.0 antes de 1.11.0."
