CVE-2026-82672 Details
Description
Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling') vulnerability in elixir-mint mint allows a malicious HTTP/1 server to desynchronize a strict intermediary and the Mint client on a pooled connection, enabling response-queue poisoning against subsequent requests that share the connection. Mint.HTTP1.Parse.chunk_size/1 in lib/mint/http1/parse.ex stops at the first non-hexadecimal byte of a chunked response's chunk-size line and returns the remainder unexamined. Mint.HTTP1.decode_body/5 in lib/mint/http1.ex then discards every byte up to the CRLF with Parse.ignore_until_crlf/1, so the accepted grammar is a run of hex digits followed by arbitrary bytes, where RFC 9112 permits only a ;-introduced chunk extension. Lines such as 5ZZZZZ and 5 9 are accepted as chunk size 5, and 0ZZZZ is accepted as the terminating chunk that ends the message body. An RFC-strict intermediary rejects such a line while Mint accepts it, so the two disagree on chunk boundaries and on where the response ends. This issue affects mint: from 0.1.0 before 1.10.1.
A vulnerability allowing HTTP request/response smuggling has been identified in the Elixir Mint HTTP client, specifically in versions 0.1.0 prior to 1.10.1. This issue arises from an inconsistent interpretation of chunked transfer encoding, where the client accepts malformed chunk-size lines that an RFC-strict intermediary would reject. This desynchronization can lead to response-queue poisoning, where bytes from one response are incorrectly attributed to another request on the same connection.
Users can upgrade to Elixir Mint version 1.10.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
