Jetty has HTTP Request Smuggling via Chunked Extension Quoted-String Parsing
CVE-2026-2332GHSA-355h-qmc2-wpwf
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http 12.1.7, 12.0.33, 11.0.29, 10.0.28, 9.4.60), 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.
Description (as reported) Jetty incorrectly parses quoted strings in HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding extension values, enabling request smuggling attacks. Background This vulnerability is a new variant discovered while researching the "Funky Chunks" HTTP request smuggling techniques: - https://w4ke.info/2025/06/18/funky-chunks.html - https://w4ke.info/2025/10/29/funky-chunks-2.html The original research tested various chunk extension parsing differentials but did not test quoted-string handling within extension values. Technical Details RFC 9112 Section 7.1.1 defines chunked transfer encoding: RFC 9110 Section 5.6.4 defines quoted-string: A quoted-string continues until the closing DQUOTE, and \r\n sequences are not permitted within the quotes. Vulnerability Jetty terminates chunk header parsing at \r\n inside quoted strings instead of treating this as an error. Expected (RFC compliant): Actual (jetty): Proof of Concept Result: Server returns 2 HTTP responses from a single TCP…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-2332 Advisory: Jetty has HTTP Request Smuggling via Chunked Extension Quoted-String Parsing IDs: CVE-2026-2332, GHSA-355h-qmc2-wpwf Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-2332 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:54 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: org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http 12.1.7, 12.0.33, 11.0.29, 10.0.28, 9.4.60. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http: affected >= 12.1.0, <= 12.1.6; >= 12.0.0, <= 12.0.32; >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.27; >= 9.4.0, <= 9.4.59; >= 11.0.0, <= 11.0.28; fixed in 11.0.29, 9.4.60, 12.0.33, 12.1.7, 10.0.28 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http: 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 org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http. - 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-355h-qmc2-wpwf (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-355h-qmc2-wpwf lists affected ranges: Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http >=12.1.0 =12.0.0 =10.0.0 =9.4.0 =11.0.0 <=11.0.28) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
