What did you do?
I wrote this small sample http listener code:
package main
import "net/http"
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hello World"))
})
http.ListenAndServe("localhost:8080", nil)
}
This, as expected, only listens for loopback connections, and it does not respond to requests coming from outside the machine.
I then tried, from the local host, to perform a request with an arbitrary Host header:
curl localhost:8080 --verbose --header "Host: victim.com"
* Rebuilt URL to: localhost:8080/
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: victim.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.58.0
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
Hello World%
What did you expect to see?
Either the request to fail or the documentation for ListenAndServe or Handler to say that the local listener does not check for the Host header and is thus vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks.
What did you see instead?
The request obtaining a response, without checks on the host header, and without any documentation on this issue.
