net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy Forwards Hidden Query Parameters

Exploitable under specific conditions

This CVE can affect KrakenD under specific conditions. Review the affected versions below and upgrade if your deployment is exposed.

KrakenD uses net/http/httputil.ReverseProxy to forward requests to backends. Endpoints that pass through query parameters (input_query_strings) may be affected if an attacker sends requests with more than the urlmaxqueryparams limit (default: 10,000) parameters, allowing hidden parameters to reach backend services unfiltered.

Component

Go standard library (net/http/httputil)

CVSS Score

5.3

Description

Go’s net/http/httputil.ReverseProxy forwards query parameters beyond the urlmaxqueryparams GODEBUG limit that are not visible to the proxy’s Rewrite or Director function. An attacker sending a request with more than the maximum number of query parameters can smuggle additional parameters to backend services while bypassing any proxy-level query parameter inspection or filtering.
