CVE-2026-126406
Wasmtime before 36.0.20 HTTP Request Smuggling via wasi-http p2 Content-Length
Description

The wasmtime-wasi-http p2 implementation in Wasmtime before 36.0.20, 37.0.0 before 48.0.8, 49.0.0 before 49.0.5, and 50.0.0 before 50.0.1 can send conflicting content-length headers, or ones not matching the body, in outgoing requests. A guest that reuses a received response's headers resource to send a bodyless request can enable request smuggling against non-compliant servers, potentially bypassing embedder destination access controls.
