System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Standard HTTP request smuggling probes for CL.TE and TE.CL variants fail to detect TE.0 smuggling, a vulnerability that occurs when a front-end reverse proxy processes Transfer-Encoding chunked requests but the back-end server entirely ignores the Transfer-Encoding header, leaving the attack undetected by conventional testing methods.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Specialized TE.0 Probe: Includes a crafted HTTP request designed to trigger TE.0 smuggling behavior in vulnerable reverse proxy and backend architectures.
  • Exploitation Indicators: Provides clear signs of successful smuggling, including response poisoning, unexpected redirects to attacker-controlled domains, and cross-user session data leakage.
  • Common Target Coverage: Targets prevalent vulnerable configurations including Google Cloud-hosted applications, AWS ALB deployments, and misconfigured nginx backends.
  • Use Case: Use this skill during web application penetration tests to identify high-severity HTTP request smuggling vulnerabilities that evade standard detection tools.

Quick Start

Use the te0-request-smuggling skill to test a reverse proxy and backend web application for TE.0 request smuggling vulnerabilities after standard CL.TE and TE.CL probes have returned no findings.
