CVE-2026-55603
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
http-proxy-middleware is node.js http-proxy middleware. From 3.0.4 until 3.0.7 and 4.1.1, fixRequestBody() is the library's documented helper for re-emitting a request body that was already consumed by a body parser. When the outgoing Content-Type is multipart/form-data, it rebuilds the body with handlerFormDataBodyData(), which interpolates each req.body key and value directly into the multipart wire format without neutralizing CR/LF. A \r\n inside a value (or key) lets an attacker close the current part and inject an entirely new form part. Because the proxy's own body parser saw a single opaque value, any gateway-side policy or validation performed on req.body is evaluated against a different set of fields than the upstream backend ultimately parses a request/parameter desynchronization across the trust boundary. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.7 and 4.1.1.

"value": "http-proxy-middleware es middleware de http-proxy de node.js. Desde 3.0.4 hasta 3.0.7 y 4.1.1, fixRequestBody() es el ayudante documentado de la biblioteca para reemitir un cuerpo de solicitud que ya fue consumido por un analizador de cuerpo. Cuando el Content-Type saliente es multipart/form-data, reconstruye el cuerpo con handlerFormDataBodyData(), que interpola cada clave y valor de req.body directamente en el formato de cable multipart sin neutralizar CR/LF. Un \\r\\n dentro de un valor (o clave) permite a un atacante cerrar la parte actual e inyectar una parte de formulario completamente nueva. Debido a que el propio analizador de cuerpo del proxy vio un único valor opaco, cualquier política o validación del lado de la pasarela realizada en req.body se evalúa contra un conjunto diferente de campos que los que el backend ascendente finalmente analiza, una desincronización de solicitud/parámetro a través del límite de confianza. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 3.0.7 y 4.1.1."
