What is CVE-2016-1000109?

CVE-2016-1000109 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in n/a, published on 19 Feb 2020. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

HHVM does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue. This issue affects HHVM versions prior to 3.9.6, all versions between 3.10.0 and 3.12.4 (inclusive), and all versions between 3.13.0 and 3.14.2 (inclusive).

Weakness: CWE-665
