CVE-2026-34441
Description
A flaw was found in cpp-httplib, a C++11 HTTP/HTTPS library. This vulnerability, known as HTTP Request Smuggling, allows a remote attacker to embed an arbitrary HTTP request within the body of a GET request. The server's static file handler fails to consume the entire request body, leaving unread bytes on the TCP stream. These remaining bytes are then interpreted as a new, separate HTTP request, enabling the attacker to bypass security controls or access unauthorized resources.
