What is CVE-2026-94439?

CVE-2026-94439 is a high-severity vulnerability in Go standard library net/http, published on 8 Oct 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

When an HTTP server handler sends a 2xx response to an HTTP/1 CONNECT request and returns without hijacking the connection, the server improperly continues to read and serve requests from the connection. Since a 2xx response to an HTTP/1 CONNECT converts the connection into a tunnel, the server should not treat the connection as continuing to contain HTTP. The impact of this misbehavior is mostly limited to potential request smuggling, where an intermediate proxy considers the data on the connection to be tunneled and the server considers it to be HTTP.
