CVE-2026-73257 – Mongoose: Content-Length + Transfer-Encoding coexistence enables request smuggling

​CVE ID :CVE-2026-73257

Published : Aug. 20, 2026, 6:16 p.m. | 28 minutes ago

Description :Mongoose is an embedded web server and network library. Priro to version 7.22, a remote unauthenticated attacker can send an HTTP request containing both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding: chunked. The cl_count and te_count checks in the mg_http_parse() and http_cb() paths in src/http.c accept both headers and prioritize chunked encoding, while a Content-Length-preferring reverse proxy can use a different request boundary. This CL.TE desynchronization can inject requests that access or modify resources in another user context. This issue is fixed in version 7.22.

Severity: 9.1 | CRITICAL
