Aug 10 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-31842 (Tinyproxy Project Tinyproxy). Public exploit reference added.
Description
Tinyproxy through 1.11.3 is vulnerable to HTTP request parsing desynchronization due to a case-sensitive comparison of the Transfer-Encoding header in src/reqs.c. The is_chunked_transfer function uses strcmp to compare the header value against "chunked", even though RFC 7230 specifies that transfer-coding names are case-insensitive.
