Severity: High (7.5)
Attack Vector: Network
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Impact: Potential system compromise or data leakage

Affected Products

Product | Affected Versions

cpp-httplib | Prior to 0.23.0

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability lies in the way the server handles incoming requests using the Transfer-Encoding: chunked in the header. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP/HTTPS request with chunked Transfer-Encoding. The server then allocates memory for these chunks without any limitation, leading to memory exhaustion.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a HTTP request:

POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Length: 9999999999
{ "malicious_payload": "..." }

In this example, the attacker sends a POST request with the Transfer-Encoding header set to chunked and an arbitrary large number for the Content-Length. The server then allocates memory based on the Content-Length, leading to memory exhaustion.

Mitigation

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch by updating cpp-httplib to version 0.23.0 or later. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, a temporary mitigation would be to use Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to block requests with chunked Transfer-Encoding.
