Published Mar 12, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Cap'n Proto is a data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Prior to 1.4.0, a negative Content-Length value was converted to unsigned, treating it as an impossibly large length instead. In theory, this bug could enable HTTP request/response smuggling. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.
