CVE-2022-45060

CVSS v2.0

7.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Varnish Cache versions 5.x through 6.0.10 Varnish Cache versions 7.x through 7.1.1 Varnish Cache versions 7.2.x through 7.2.0
Description An HTTP Request Forgery issue was discovered in Varnish Cache, where an attacker may introduce characters through HTTP/2 pseudo-headers that are invalid in the context of an HTTP/1 request line, causing the Varnish server to produce invalid HTTP/1 requests to the backend. This could be used to exploit vulnerabilities in a server behind the Varnish server.
Recommendations For Varnish Cache versions 5.x through 6.0.10, update to version 6.0.11 or later. For Varnish Cache versions 7.x through 7.1.1, update to version 7.1.2 or later. For Varnish Cache versions 7.2.x through 7.2.0, update to version 7.2.1 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Varnish server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
