Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the processing of duplicate Host headers. An attacker can bypass security checks enforced by a reverse proxy by sending requests with multiple Host headers, potentially causing the proxy and the backend to interpret different host values and allowing unauthorized access to privileged sub-applications.

Note:

This is only exploitable if a reverse proxy applies security rules based on the Host header and the backend uses domain-based routing.
