CVE-2025-4366
EPSS 0.61%Pingora Request Smuggling and Cache Poisoning
Published: 6/20/2025Modified: 10/28/2025
Description
Pingora versions prior to 0.5.0 which used the caching functionality in pingora-proxy did not properly drain the downstream request body on cache hits. This allows an attacker to craft malicious HTTP/1.1 requests which could lead to request smuggling or cache poisoning. This flaw was corrected in commit fda3317ec822678564d641e7cf1c9b77ee3759ff by ensuring that the downstream request body is always drained before a connection can be reused. See [the blog post](https://blog.cloudflare.com/resolving-a-request-smuggling-vulnerability-in-pingora/) for more information.
