Pingora has a Request Smuggling Vulnerability
CVE-2025-4366GHSA-93c7-7xqw-w357
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (pingora-core 0.5.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
A request smuggling vulnerability identified within Pingora’s proxying framework, pingora-proxy, allows malicious HTTP requests to be injected via manipulated request bodies on cache HITs, leading to unauthorized request execution and potential cache poisoning. Fixed in https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/commit/fda3317ec822678564d641e7cf1c9b77ee3759ff Impact The issue could lead to request smuggling in cases where Pingora’s proxying framework, pingora-proxy, is used for caching allowing an attacker to manipulate headers and URLs in subsequent requests made on the same HTTP/1.1 connection.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-4366 Advisory: Pingora has a Request Smuggling Vulnerability IDs: CVE-2025-4366, GHSA-93c7-7xqw-w357 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-4366 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:38 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.4) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: pingora-core 0.5.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - crates.io pingora-core: affected < 0.5.0; fixed in 0.5.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - crates.io pingora-core: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on pingora-core. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-93c7-7xqw-w357 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-93c7-7xqw-w357 lists affected ranges: crates.io pingora-core >=0 <0.5.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
