CVE-2026-28369

Red Hat Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.1, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.1 for RHEL 8, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.1 for RHEL 9

A flaw was found in Undertow. When Undertow receives an HTTP request where the first header line starts with one or more spaces, it incorrectly processes the request by stripping these leading spaces. This behavior, which violates HTTP standards, can be exploited by a remote attacker to perform request smuggling. Request smuggling allows an attacker to bypass security mechanisms, access restricted information, or manipulate web caches, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure.
