SCA: security update for guzzlehttp/psr7 (GHSA-34xg-wgjx-8xph)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443073

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- guzzlehttp/psr7 is a PSR-7 HTTP message library implementation in PHP. Versions prior to 2.10.2 contain
improper Host header validation when parsing raw HTTP request messages and when deriving a server request
URI from server variables. An attacker can provide a malformed Host header containing URI authority
delimiters, such as `[email protected]`. When the Host value is used to construct a URI, the
malformed value can be reinterpreted as URI userinfo and host. This can cause the PSR-7 request URI host
to differ from the original Host header value. Applications are affected if they parse attacker-controlled
raw HTTP requests with `GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Message::parseRequest()` or the legacy 1.x
`GuzzleHttp\Psr7\parse_request()` function, or if they build server requests from attacker-controlled
server variables, then rely on the resulting URI host for routing, allow-list checks, or forwarding
decisions. In affected forwarding or gateway scenarios, this may cause requests or credentials to be sent
to an unintended host. The issue is patched in `2.10.2`. `1.x` is end-of-life and will not receive a
patch. Some workarounds are available. Validate the `Host` header as `uri-host [ ":" port ]` before
calling `Message::parseRequest()` or legacy `parse_request()` on untrusted HTTP request data, or before
deriving routing and forwarding decisions from a parsed request URI. Reject Host values containing
userinfo, path, query, or fragment delimiters. (CVE-2026-48998)

Solution

Update the guzzlehttp/psr7 library and its related packages to version 2.10.2 or later.
