Netty · Netty · CVE-2026-89044
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Netty versions 4.1.133.Final through 4.1.137.Final
Netty versions 4.2.13.Final through 4.2.17.Final
**Description**
Improper validation of the final transfer coding in the `Transfer-Encoding` header allows attackers to perform request smuggling using malformed encoding declarations. This occurs when attackers split the `Transfer-Encoding` header across multiple lines or use values such as `chunked, xchunked` to bypass validation. Consequently, messages may be decoded as chunked even when the final coding is not chunked.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
