CVE-2026-32240 Details
Description
Cap'n Proto is a data interchange format and capability-based RPC system. Prior to 1.4.0, when using Transfer-Encoding: chunked, if a chunk's size parsed to a value of 2^64 or larger, it would be truncated to a 64-bit integer. In theory, this bug could enable HTTP request/response smuggling. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.
A vulnerability exists in the KJ-HTTP library, which is part of the Cap'n Proto data interchange format and RPC system. Prior to version 1.4.0, the library had two integer overflow bugs related to HTTP message body sizes. When using 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked', if a chunk size parsed to 2^64 or larger, it would be truncated to a 64-bit integer. This could theoretically enable HTTP request/response smuggling, especially if integrated with a proxy that has its own bugs. Cap'n Proto itself does not use or link against KJ-HTTP, but the vulnerability could impact applications using KJ-HTTP, such as the open-source version of the Cloudflare Workers Runtime, 'workerd', under certain conditions.
Users of the KJ-HTTP library should update to Cap'n Proto version 1.4.0, which includes the necessary fix. Instructions for downloading this version are available on the Cap'n Proto website.
