CGI Parameter Injection (Bypass of STRICT_CGI_PARAMS and EscapeShellParam)

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. A vulnerability in versions prior to 2.01 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass the web server's CGI parameter security controls. Depending on the server configuration and the specific CGI executable in use, the impact is either source code disclosure or remote code execution (RCE). Anyone hosting CGI scripts (particularly interpreted languages like PHP) using vulnerable versions of TinyWeb is impacted. The problem has been patched in version 2.01. If upgrading is not immediately possible, ensure `STRICT_CGI_PARAMS` is enabled (it is defined by default in `define.inc`) and/or do not use CGI executables that natively accept dangerous command-line flags (such as `php-cgi.exe`). If hosting PHP, consider placing the server behind a Web Application Firewall (WAF) that explicitly blocks URL query string parameters that begin with a hyphen (`-`) or contain encoded double quotes (`%22`).

Ritlabs TinyWeb Server Header libeay32.dll.html stack-based overflow

A security vulnerability has been detected in Ritlabs TinyWeb Server up to 1.94 on Win32. This impacts an unknown function in the library libeay32.dll.html of the component Header Handler. The manipulation of the argument Authorization leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

TinyWeb CGI Command Injection

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. TinyWeb HTTP Server before version 1.98 is vulnerable to OS command injection via CGI ISINDEX-style query parameters. The query parameters are passed as command-line arguments to the CGI executable via Windows CreateProcess(). An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the server by injecting Windows shell metacharacters into HTTP requests. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.98.

TinyWeb vulnerable to Remote Denial of Service via Thread/Connection Exhaustion (Slowloris)

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Versions prior to version 2.02 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack known as Slowloris. The server spawns a new OS thread for every incoming connection without enforcing a maximum concurrency limit or an appropriate request timeout. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server concurrency limits and memory by opening numerous connections and sending data exceptionally slowly (e.g. 1 byte every few minutes). Anyone hosting services using TinyWeb is impacted. Version 2.02 fixes the issue. The patch introduces a `CMaxConnections` limit (set to 512) and a `CConnectionTimeoutSecs` idle timeout (set to 30 seconds). As a temporary workaround if upgrading is not immediately possible, consider placing the server behind a robust reverse proxy or Web Application Firewall (WAF) such as nginx, HAProxy, or Cloudflare, configured to buffer incomplete requests and aggressively enforce connection limits and timeouts.

TinyWeb has Unbounded Content-Length Memory Exhaustion (DoS)

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Versions prior to version 2.02 have a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability via memory exhaustion. Unauthenticated remote attackers can send an HTTP POST request to the server with an exceptionally large `Content-Length` header (e.g., `2147483647`). The server continuously allocates memory for the request body (`EntityBody`) while streaming the payload without enforcing any maximum limit, leading to all available memory being consumed and causing the server to crash. Anyone hosting services using TinyWeb is impacted. Version 2.02 fixes the issue. The patch introduces a `CMaxEntityBodySize` limit (set to 10MB) for the maximum size of accepted payloads. As a temporary workaround if upgrading is not immediately possible, consider placing the server behind a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy (like nginx or Cloudflare) configured to explicitly limit the maximum allowed HTTP request body size (e.g., `client_max_body_size` in nginx).

TinyWeb: Integer Overflow in `_Val` (HTTP Request Smuggling)

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Prior to version 2.03, an integer overflow vulnerability in the string-to-integer conversion routine (_Val) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass Content-Length restrictions and perform HTTP Request Smuggling. This can lead to unauthorized access, security filter bypass, and potential cache poisoning. The impact is critical for servers using persistent connections (Keep-Alive). This issue has been patched in version 2.03.

TinyWeb: HTTP Header Control Character Injection into CGI Environment

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Prior to version 2.04, TinyWeb accepts request header values and later maps them into CGI environment variables (HTTP_*). The parser did not strictly reject dangerous control characters in header lines and header values, including CR, LF, and NUL, and did not consistently defend against encoded forms such as %0d, %0a, and %00. This can enable header value confusion across parser boundaries and may create unsafe data in the CGI execution context. This issue has been patched in version 2.04.

The BAT! mail client allows remote attackers to bypass user warnings of an executable attachment and execute arbitrary commands via an attachment whose file name contains many spaces, which also causes the BAT! to misrepresent the attachment's type with a different icon.

Rit Research Labs The Bat! 1.51 for Windows allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending an email to a user's account containing a carriage return <CR> that is not followed by a line feed <LF>.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Rit Research Labs The Bat! 1.48f and earlier allows a remote attacker to create arbitrary files via a "dot dot" attack in the filename for an attachment.

The Bat! 1.53d and 1.54beta, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an attachment whose name includes an MS-DOS device name.

Rit Research Labs The Bat! 1.0.11 through 2.0 creates new accounts with insecure ACLs, which allows local users to read other users' email messages.

Buffer overflow in RITLabs The Bat! 3.60.07 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long Subject field.

RITLabs The Bat! before 3.0.0.15 displays certain important headers from encapsulated data in message/partial MIME messages, instead of the real headers, which is in violation of RFC2046 header merging rules and allows remote attackers to spoof the origin of e-mail by sending a fragmented message, as demonstrated using spoofed Received: and Message-ID: headers.

Ritlabs TinyWeb Server Request crlf injection

A security vulnerability has been detected in Ritlabs TinyWeb Server 1.94. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component Request Handler. The manipulation with the input %0D%0A leads to crlf injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.99 is able to resolve this issue. The identifier of the patch is d49c3da6a97e950975b18626878f3ee1f082358e. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

TinyWeb 1.94 and below allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Buffer Overflow) when sending excessively large elements in the request line.

S/MIME: CBC gadget attacks allows to exfiltrate plaintext out of encrypted emails

The S/MIME specification allows a Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) malleability-gadget attack that can indirectly lead to plaintext exfiltration, aka EFAIL.
