In Progress® Telerik® Fiddler® Classic for Windows, versions prior to v6.0.20262.10021, front-end request desynchronization is possible in the proxy request forwarding component. A request that contains both a Content-Length and a Transfer-Encoding header is forwarded with both headers present, while Fiddler frames the body using Transfer-Encoding only. The remaining bytes on the reused client connection are then parsed as a separate pipelined request, so a local threat actor with low privileges can cause a single malformed request to be split into two requests forwarded to the origin server and receive an additional smuggled response, without requiring a vulnerable server.
