Vulnerability in react/http (CVE-2026-104827)

Summary

Vulnerability in react/http (CVE-2026-104827). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via memory_limit. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.11.1 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

React\Http\Browser and its lower-level HTTP stack impose no limit on the size of a response's header section while it is being received. ClientRequestStream::handleData() appends every incoming byte to an internal buffer and only scans that buffer for the \r\n\r\n (or \n\n) terminator, without ever checking its length. A remote server that withholds the terminator and keeps streaming can grow the client's memory without bound until PHP's memory_limit is exhausted and the process crashes.

This is an unauthenticated, network-reachable denial of service against any application that uses react/http as a client to fetch untrusted or attacker-influenced URLs, including via redirects.

Details

ClientRequestStream::handleData() is bound directly to the underlying connection's data event, so every byte the peer sends is appended with no size check:

public function handleData($data)
{
    $this->buffer .= $data;

    // buffer until double CRLF (or double LF for compatibility with legacy servers)
    $eom = \strpos($this->buffer, "\r\n\r\n");
    $eomLegacy = \strpos($this->buffer, "\n\n");
    if ($eom !== false || $eomLegacy !== false) {

The only exit from the buffering state is finding the header terminator or a connection close, so until it arrives the buffer grows monotonically for as long as the peer keeps sending.

The codebase already applies this class of limit elsewhere, but not symmetrically. RequestHeaderParser caps incoming…

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-770) exists in react/http. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via memory_limit without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of react/http. Attack surface: memory_limit / data / RequestHeaderParser / Response.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 1.11.1.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'react/http' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'react/http' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で react/http を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade react/http to 1.11.1

    ステージング環境で 1.11.1 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
