description

Vert.x Core versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.12, 5.1.0 through 5.1.9, and 5.2.0 mishandle certain HTTP/1.x header names during normalization. An attacker able to send requests to the affected decoder may use this behavior to smuggle HTTP requests.

mitigation

Upgrade io.vertx:vertx-core to 5.1.10 or 5.2.1. Move deployments on 5.0.x to a fixed supported release.

fixed in 5.1.10, 5.2.1
