What is CVE-2020-25613?
A flaw in Ruby's bundled WEBrick HTTP server allowed inadequate validation of the transfer-encoding header. This oversight may be exploited by attackers to evade reverse proxy security measures, potentially facilitating HTTP request smuggling, which could lead to unauthorized access or malicious actions across web applications. Developers using affected Ruby versions are encouraged to update to mitigate potential security risks.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
