Summary
Vulnerability in Eclipse Vert.x (CVE-2026-102479). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In Eclipse Vert.x versions [5.0.0,5.0.12] or [5.1.0,5.1.9] or [5.2.0, 5.2.0], the Vert.x HTTP/1.x decoder uses a canonicalization for well known HTTP headers, the canonicalization process interprets well crafted headers as headers of this list, allowing for instance Content-Xength to be interpeted as Content-Length.
This can be exploited for request smuggling purpose.
The impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-core.
