Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Node.js `llhttp` parser fails to validate `Transfer-Encoding` headers. <br>π₯ **Consequences**: Leads to **HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS)**.β¦
π¦ **Vendor**: NodeJS. <br>π **Affected Versions**: <br>β’ Node.js **18.x** <br>β’ Node.js **16.x** <br>β’ Node.js **14.x** <br>*(Note: Versions prior to these may also be vulnerable if they use affected llhttp versions).*
βοΈ **Threshold**: **Medium**. <br>β’ No authentication required for the network-level smuggling attack. <br>β’ Requires the application to handle HTTP/1.1 requests with `Transfer-Encoding` headers.β¦
π§ **Workaround (If no patch)**: <br>β’ **Input Validation**: Strictly validate and sanitize `Transfer-Encoding` headers at the reverse proxy level (Nginx/Apache).β¦
