Varnish Cache Project reports:
A request smuggling attack can be performed on Varnish Cache servers by
requesting that certain headers are made hop-by-hop, preventing the
Varnish Cache servers from forwarding critical headers to the backend.
Among the headers that can be filtered this way are both Content-Length
and Host, making it possible for an attacker to both break the HTTP/1
protocol framing, and bypass request to host routing in VCL.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
