CVE-2026-94439: Go net/http HTTP/1 server CONNECT response desynchronization

CVE-2026-94439 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-08

Go's HTTP server contains a connection desynchronization flaw when responding to CONNECT requests with a 2xx status code. An intermediate proxy treating the connection as a tunnel while the server continues to parse HTTP requests could enable request smuggling attacks, potentially allowing an attacker to inject or misdirect requests through the compromised connection.

Technologies: go (Go), stdlib (Go). Vendors: Go.

Yes. stdlib (Go): upgrade to 1.27.2 or later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-94439 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a software library.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-94439?
Check whether you run go (Go) or stdlib (Go) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • stdlib (Go): upgrade to 1.27.2 or later
    go get stdlib@v1.27.2

Technical details

The vulnerability occurs in net/http when an HTTP/1 server handler sends a 2xx response to a CONNECT request and returns without hijacking the connection; the server improperly continues parsing HTTP requests on what should become a tunnel. This connection state desynchronization between client, proxy, and server enables HTTP request smuggling, where attackers exploit differing interpretations of the connection protocol. The fix closes the connection unconditionally after any CONNECT response.
