An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-63379 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: libevent. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63379/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63379/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-63379","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63379/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-63379","record":{"aliases":["AZL-96903","AZL-96941","AZL-97533","AZL-97557","BELL-CVE-2026-63379","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63379","ECHO-37ec-7e98-5f4f","GHSA-2gmv-p5m7-98p6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63379"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Libevent HTTP library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exploit HTTP header smuggling in Libevent to bypass authorization, spoof proxy headers, or poison caches by manipulating chunked trailers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-444","name":"Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests"}],"description":"Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent processes chunked HTTP trailers in http.c through evhttp_read_trailer and merges them into request headers. The fix introduces evhttp_parse_headers_impl_ and a temporary trailer header list. An unauthenticated remote attacker can place security-sensitive fields in trailers so that an upstream proxy and the libevent application interpret different effective headers, enabling header smuggling, authorization bypass, proxy-header spoofing, or cache poisoning. The fix parses trailers into a temporary header list and discards them instead of merging them into req-\u003einput_headers. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Libevent: HTTP Header smuggling","id":"CVE-2026-63379","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Libevent: Null Pointer Dereference in `evws_new_session`","id":"CVE-2026-63380"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"toml-node: Prototype Pollution Leads to `Object.prototype` Corruption via `__proto__` Key-Path Desynchronization","id":"CVE-2026-63376"},"products":["libevent"],"published":"2026-08-20","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-25","vendors":["libevent"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can exploit HTTP header smuggling in Libevent to bypass authorization, spoof proxy headers, or poison caches by manipulating chunked trailers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-63379/"}
