In Twisted before 19.2.1, twisted.web did not validate or sanitize URIs or HTTP methods, allowing an attacker to inject invalid characters such as CRLF.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2020-1091 advisory.

  - In Twisted before 19.2.1, twisted.web did not validate or sanitize URIs or HTTP methods, allowing an     attacker to inject invalid characters such as CRLF. (CVE-2019-12387)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4074-1 advisory.

  - In Twisted before 19.2.1, twisted.web did not validate or sanitize URIs or HTTP methods, allowing an     attacker to inject invalid characters such as CRLF. (CVE-2019-12387)

  - In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with two     content-length headers, it ignored the first header. When the second content-length value was set to zero,     the request body was interpreted as a pipelined request. (CVE-2020-10108)

  - twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python. In affected versions twisted exposes     cookies and authorization headers when following cross-origin redirects. This issue is present in the     `twited.web.RedirectAgent` and `twisted.web. BrowserLikeRedirectAgent` functions. Users are advised to     upgrade. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-21712)

  - Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Started with version 0.9.4, when the host     header does not match a configured host `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource`     resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404 response allowing HTML and script injection.
    In practice this should be very difficult to exploit as being able to modify the Host header of a normal     HTTP request implies that one is already in a privileged position. This issue was fixed in version     22.10.0rc1. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-39348)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has python-twisted-web packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In Twisted before 19.2.1, twisted.web did not validate or sanitize URIs or HTTP methods, allowing an     attacker to inject invalid characters such as CRLF. (CVE-2019-12387)

  - In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with two     content-length headers, it ignored the first header. When the second content-length value was set to zero,     the request body was interpreted as a pipelined request. (CVE-2020-10108)

  - In Twisted Web through 19.10.0, there was an HTTP request splitting vulnerability. When presented with a     content-length and a chunked encoding header, the content-length took precedence and the remainder of the     request body was interpreted as a pipelined request. (CVE-2020-10109)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has python-twisted-web packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

An update of the python package has been released.

Twisted developers reports :

All HTTP clients in twisted.web.client now raise a ValueError when called with a method and/or URL that contain invalid characters. This mitigates CVE-2019-12387. Thanks to Alex Brasetvik for reporting this vulnerability.

The HTTP/2 server implementation now enforces TCP flow control on control frame messages and times out clients that send invalid data without reading responses. This closes CVE-2019-9512 (Ping Flood), CVE-2019-9514 (Reset Flood), and CVE-2019-9515 (Settings Flood).
Thanks to Jonathan Looney and Piotr Sikora.

twisted.web.http was subject to several request smuggling attacks.
Requests with multiple Content-Length headers were allowed (CVE-2020-10108, thanks to Jake Miller from Bishop Fox and ZeddYu Lu for reporting this) and now fail with a 400; requests with a Content-Length header and a Transfer-Encoding header honored the first header (CVE-2020-10109, thanks to Jake Miller from Bishop Fox for reporting this) and now fail with a 400; requests whose Transfer-Encoding header had a value other than 'chunked' and 'identity' (thanks to ZeddYu Lu) were allowed and now fail with a 400.
