Node.Js · Node.Js · 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.
