CVE-2025-23167 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:13.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs package and not the nodejs package as distributed by Debian.
A flaw in Node.js 20's HTTP parser allows improper termination of HTTP/1 headers using \r\n\rX instead of the required \r\n\r\n.
This inconsistency enables request smuggling, allowing attackers to bypass proxy-based access controls and submit unauthorized requests.
The issue was resolved by upgrading llhttp to version 9, which enforces correct header termination.
Impact:
- This vulnerability affects only Node.js 20.x users prior to the
llhttpv9 upgrade.
