blaze: Multiple HTTP/1.1 request-smuggling primitives in blaze's Java wire parser

CVE-2026-73494

Description

Summary

Five independent HTTP/1.1 conformance laxities in blaze's hand-written Java parser (http/src/main/java/org/http4s/blaze/http/parser/) cause request-boundary disagreement with a stricter intermediary. All are reachable from a default BlazeServerBuilder with no non-default configuration.

Impact

Actual exploitability depends on the fronting proxy — a boundary disagreement requires a *pair* of parsers that disagree. Where the proxy forwards the malformed bytes and derives a different message boundary, the consequences are the standard set: front-end ACL/auth bypass, response-queue poisoning on pooled backend connections, and cache poisoning. Risk concentrates on lenient or legacy intermediaries.

Workarounds

Deploy behind an RFC-strict reverse proxy (nginx, HAProxy, Envoy, ALB) that rejects or re-serializes malformed requests at the edge; this neutralizes most of these for deployments that cannot upgrade immediately.
