CVE-2020-25613 (GCVE-0-2020-25613)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-10-06 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 15:33
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered in Ruby through 2.5.8, 2.6.x through 2.6.6, and 2.7.x through 2.7.1. WEBrick, a simple HTTP server bundled with Ruby, had not checked the transfer-encoding header value rigorously. An attacker may potentially exploit this issue to bypass a reverse proxy (which also has a poor header check), which may lead to an HTTP Request Smuggling attack.
