      <title>GHSA-45q3-82m4-75jr — Netty has HTTP Header Injection via HttpProxyHandler Disabled Validation (Incomplete Fix CVE-2025-67735)</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-45q3-82m4-75jr</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Maven: io.netty:netty-handler-proxy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# Security Vulnerability Report: HTTP Header Injection via HttpProxyHandler Disabled Validation in Netty&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 1. Vulnerability Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Product** | Netty |
| **Version** | 4.2.12.Final (and all prior versions) |
| **Component** | `io.netty.handler.proxy.HttpProxyHandler` |
| **Vulnerability Type** | CWE-113: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers |
| **Impact** | HTTP Header Injection in CONNECT Proxy Requests |
| **CVSS 3.1 Score** | **7.5 (High)** |
| **CVSS 3.1 Vector** | `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N` |
| **Related Advisory** | **GHSA-84h7-rjj3-6jx4** (Incomplete Fix) |&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 2. Affected Components&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- `io.netty.handler.proxy.HttpProxyHandler` — `newInitialMessage()` method (line 176) explicitly disables header validation via `withValidation(false)`&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 3. Vulnerability Description&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Netty&amp;#39;s `HttpProxyHandler` constructs HTTP CONNECT requests with **header validation explicitly disabled**. The `newInitialMessage()` method (line 176) creates headers using `DefaultHttpHeadersFactory.headersFactory().withValidation(false)`, then adds user-provided `outboundHeaders` (line 188-190) without any CRLF validation. This allows an attacker who can influence the outbound headers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers into the CONNECT request sent to the proxy server.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Root Cause&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;```java
// HttpProxyHandler.java:176-190
protected Object newInitialMessage(ChannelHandlerContext ctx) throws Exception {
    // ...
    H…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
