CVE-2026-105660: Bandit improper validation of HTTP request authority in input

CVE-2026-105660 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-15

Bandit is an HTTP server library for Elixir applications. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft HTTP requests with malformed authority fields that bypass validation, allowing them to inject arbitrary hostnames and port numbers into the application. Applications that use these values to construct URLs or redirects may emit links pointing to attacker-controlled destinations, enabling phishing attacks or redirection to malicious sites.

How to fix

Fixed in: Bandit 1.13.0

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Bandit.Pipeline.determine_host_and_port!/4 (lib/bandit/pipeline.ex), which passes the authority component of HTTP/1 absolute-form or authority-form request targets to the application without validating it against RFC 3986 host grammar. While Bandit validates the Host header and rejects malformed values with HTTP 400, it fails to validate the authority in the request line itself, which RFC 9112 states takes precedence. Attackers can inject invalid characters (NUL, DEL, non-ASCII), malformed IP literals, invalid ports, or email-like syntax (e.g., good.example@evil.example) into conn.host and conn.port.
