Title

blaze: Chunked-body trailer fields promoted into Request.headers in blaze-server (front-end header-sanitization bypass)

Summary

blaze is a Scala library for building asynchronous pipelines, with a focus on network IO. Prior to 0.23.18 and 1.0.0-M42, blaze-server can merge HTTP/1.1 chunked-body trailer fields into Request.headers. Because trailer fields are attacker-controlled, an unauthenticated remote client can inject arbitrary header names and values, including X-Forwarded-For and internal authorization headers, that a fronting proxy sanitized from the request-header section, bypassing header-based trust decisions in the application. Any http4s application using BlazeServerBuilder over HTTP/1.1 whose routes or middleware trust proxy-set headers, including X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, and X-Forwarded-Host, is affected. If a fronting proxy strips or normalizes those headers but forwards chunked bodies with trailers intact, an attacker can spoof client IP for allow-lists, rate limits, or auditing, forge the https scheme, or inject internal authorization headers. A promoted Connection: close trailer is also honored, allowing attacker-controlled termination of pooled backend connections. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.18 and 1.0.0-M42.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-24 22:26 – Updated: 2026-08-12 21:12

Summary

blaze: Chunked-body trailer fields promoted into Request.headers in blaze-server (front-end header-sanitization bypass)

Details

Summary

blaze-server can merge HTTP/1.1 chunked-body trailer fields into Request.headers. Because trailer fields are attacker-controlled, an unauthenticated remote client can inject arbitrary header names/values (e.g. X-Forwarded-For, internal-auth headers) that a fronting proxy sanitized from the request-header section, bypassing header-based trust decisions in the application.

### Impact Any http4s application using BlazeServerBuilder over HTTP/1.1 whose routes or middleware trust proxy-set headers (e.g., X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP, X-Forwarded-Host, org-internal auth headers) is affected. Where a fronting proxy strips/normalizes those headers but forwards chunked bodies with trailers intact, an attacker can spoof client IP for allow-lists/rate-limits/audit, forge the https scheme, or inject internal-auth headers. A promoted Connection: close trailer is also honored, allowing attacker-controlled termination of pooled backend connections.

### Workarounds Deploy behind a proxy that removes trailer fields (or rejects requests that use trailers) before forwarding; until patched, avoid trust decisions based on headers that a proxy is relied upon to sanitize.

Severity

7.4 (High)
