Undici has an HTTP Request/Response Smuggling issue

CVE-2026-1525 / GHSA-2mjp-6q6p-2qxm

More information

Details

Impact

Undici allows duplicate HTTP Content-Length headers when they are provided in an array with case-variant names (e.g., Content-Length and content-length). This produces malformed HTTP/1.1 requests with multiple conflicting Content-Length values on the wire.

Who is impacted:

• Applications using undici.request(), undici.Client, or similar low-level APIs with headers passed as flat arrays
• Applications that accept user-controlled header names without case-normalization

Potential consequences:

• Denial of Service: Strict HTTP parsers (proxies, servers) will reject requests with duplicate Content-Length headers (400 Bad Request)
• HTTP Request Smuggling: In deployments where an intermediary and backend interpret duplicate headers inconsistently (e.g., one uses the first value, the other uses the last), this can enable request smuggling attacks leading to ACL bypass, cache poisoning, or credential hijacking

Patches

Patched in the undici version v7.24.0 and v6.24.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible:

1. Validate header names: Ensure no duplicate Content-Length headers (case-insensitive) are present before passing headers to undici
2. Use object format: Pass headers as a plain object ({ 'content-length': '123' }) rather than an array, which naturally deduplicates by key
3. Sanitize user input: If headers originate from user input, normalize header names to lowercase and reject duplicates

Undici: Malicious WebSocket 64-bit length overflows parser and crashes the client

CVE-2026-1528 / GHSA-f269-vfmq-vjvj

More information

Details

Impact

A server can reply with a WebSocket frame using the 64-bit length form and an extremely large length. undici's ByteParser overflows internal math, ends up in an invalid state, and throws a fatal TypeError that terminates the process.

Patches

Patched in the undici version v7.24.0 and v6.24.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later.

Workarounds

There are no workarounds.

Undici has CRLF Injection in undici via upgrade option

CVE-2026-1527 / GHSA-4992-7rv2-5pvq

More information

Details

Impact

When an application passes user-controlled input to the upgrade option of client.request(), an attacker can inject CRLF sequences (\r\n) to:

1. Inject arbitrary HTTP headers
2. Terminate the HTTP request prematurely and smuggle raw data to non-HTTP services (Redis, Memcached, Elasticsearch)

The vulnerability exists because undici writes the upgrade value directly to the socket without validating for invalid header characters:

// lib/dispatcher/client-h1.js:1121
if (upgrade) {
  header += `connection: upgrade\r\nupgrade: ${upgrade}\r\n`
}

Patches

Patched in the undici version v7.24.0 and v6.24.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later.

Workarounds

Sanitize the upgrade option string before passing to undici:

function sanitizeUpgrade(value) {
  if (/[\r\n]/.test(value)) {
    throw new Error('Invalid upgrade value')
  }
  return value
}

client.request({
  upgrade: sanitizeUpgrade(userInput)
})
