Lightbend · Akka-Http-Core · CVE-2021-23339
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
com.typesafe.akka:akka-http-core versions prior to 10.1.14
com.typesafe.akka:akka-http-core versions 10.2.0 through 10.2.4
**Description**
The issue allows multiple Transfer-Encoding headers, which can lead to a malformed message being accepted by a vulnerable Akka HTTP server. If this message is proxied to another server without inspection, it may be interpreted as two HTTP messages, potentially bypassing security checks.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 10.1.14, update to version 10.1.14 or later.
For versions 10.2.0 through 10.2.4, update to a version later than 10.2.4.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the acceptance of multiple Transfer-Encoding headers in the Akka HTTP server configuration until a patch is available.
