NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream v8-13.6-devel package and not the v8-13.6-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

ImpactWhen an application passes user-controlled input to the upgrade option of client.request(), an attacker can inject CRLF sequences (\r\n) to:

  • Inject arbitrary HTTP headers
  • Terminate the HTTP request prematurely and smuggle raw data to non-HTTP services (Redis, Memcached, Elasticsearch) The vulnerability exists because undici writes the upgrade value directly to the socket without validating for invalid header characters:

// lib/dispatcher/client-h1.js:1121 if (upgrade) { header += connection: upgrade\r\nupgrade: ${upgrade}\r\n }
