AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately upgrade TinyWeb to version 2.03 or later, where the vulnerability has been patched. Until the upgrade can be applied, administrators should consider disabling persistent HTTP connections (Keep-Alive) to reduce the risk of request smuggling exploitation. Implementing strict input validation and filtering at perimeter security devices, such as web application firewalls, can help detect and block malformed HTTP requests attempting to exploit this vulnerability. Network segmentation and limiting exposure of TinyWeb servers to untrusted networks will reduce attack surface. Monitoring HTTP traffic for anomalies related to Content-Length headers and unusual request patterns can provide early detection of exploitation attempts. Additionally, conducting regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on HTTP request smuggling can help identify residual risks. Finally, organizations should maintain an inventory of all web servers in use to ensure no vulnerable TinyWeb instances remain in production.

Description

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Prior to version 2.03, an integer overflow vulnerability in the string-to-integer conversion routine (_Val) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass Content-Length restrictions and perform HTTP Request Smuggling. This can lead to unauthorized access, security filter bypass, and potential cache poisoning. The impact is critical for servers using persistent connections (Keep-Alive). This issue has been patched in version 2.03.
