CVE-2026-58055
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
nghttp2's nghttpx proxy through 1.69.0 forwards an HTTP/1.1 Upgrade request that also carries a Content-Length header and body onto reusable keep-alive backend connections, re-adding the Upgrade and Connection headers while passing Content-Length verbatim. A backend that resolves the resulting ambiguous message in the attacker's favor enables HTTP request/response smuggling and cross-client response-queue poisoning.

Un backend que resuelve el mensaje ambiguo resultante a favor del atacante permite el contrabando de solicitudes/respuestas HTTP y el envenenamiento de la cola de respuestas entre clientes."
