CVE-2024-27982

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Node.js versions prior to the fixed version

Description The issue is related to insufficient handling of HTTP requests in the Node.js platform, allowing a remote attacker to send a hidden HTTP request, known as an HTTP Request Smuggling attack. This can occur when malformed headers are sent, specifically if a space is placed before a content-length header, which is not interpreted correctly. This enables attackers to smuggle in a second request within the body of the first.

Recommendations For Node.js versions prior to the fixed version, consider disabling the HTTP server functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the HTTP server to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using malformed headers, specifically those with a space before a content-length header, in the affected HTTP server until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
