Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the soup_message_headers_get_one_common is used to construct the request URI. An attacker can bypass host-based access controls or poison caches by sending requests with multiple Host headers, exploiting the difference in how proxies and the backend interpret these headers.

Note: This is only exploitable if the application is deployed behind a front proxy that processes the first Host header while the backend processes the last.
