Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
Http4s 是用于 HTTP 服务的 Scala 接口。在 0.23.35 和 1.0.0-M47 之前的版本中，Ember 的块解码器（chunk decoder）会对块大小（chunk-size）标记进行修剪，并接受前导加号（+）或减号（-），而不是要求必须包含一个或多个十六进制数字后跟必需的 CRLF（回车换行）序列。当中间代理转发未经重新编码的分块数据，并且对格式错误的块边界存在不同的解释时，未认证的攻击者可以利用此漏洞实施 TE.TE 请求走私（request smuggling），从而绕过中间代理的安

Vulnerability Title
Http4s: Ember chunk parser lenience (TE.TE request smuggling)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Http4s is a Scala interface for HTTP services. Prior to 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47, Ember’s chunk decoder trims the chunk-size token and accepts leading plus or minus signs instead of requiring one or more hexadecimal digits followed by the required CRLF. When an intermediary forwards chunked data without re-encoding and interprets malformed chunk boundaries differently, an unauthenticated attacker can create TE.TE request smuggling that bypasses intermediary controls, poisons caches, or hijacks the request queue. The same response-path leniency can enable response smuggling against an ember-client used as a gateway when the upstream is malicious or compromised. This issue is fixed in versions 0.23.35 and 1.0.0-M47.
