CVE-2026-73256 (GCVE-0-2026-73256)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-20 17:37 – Updated: 2026-08-21 21:46

Title

Mongoose: HTTP/1.0 detection off-by-one enables request smuggling via chunked TE

Summary

Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library. Prior to 7.22, a remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit an HTTP/1.0 reverse-proxy deployment by sending a request with Transfer-Encoding: chunked and conflicting framing. The http_cb() function in src/http.c tests hm.proto.len with an impossible greater-than-eight condition even though mg_http_parse() requires an eight-byte protocol string, so is_http_1_0 is never set. Mongoose consequently processes chunked encoding that an HTTP/1.0 proxy can ignore, enabling request smuggling and unauthorized access or state changes. This issue is fixed in version 7.22.
