CVE-2025-55702

Apache Traffic Server: An unread Expect: 100-continue request body is framed as a new request

Published Oct 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
When a client sends a POST with Expect: 100-continue and the origin answers before reading the body, Apache Traffic Server parses the unread body left on the client connection as the next request. An attacker behind a front-end proxy that shares connections to Traffic Server can use this to smuggle requests past the front end and desynchronize responses for other users.



This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.11, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.15, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.4, 10.2.0.



Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.16, 10.1.5, or 10.2.1, which fix the issue.
