  "title": "ruby-protocol-http1: protocol-http1 provides a low-level implementation of the HTTP/1 protocol",
  "description": "protocol-http1 provides a low-level implementation of the HTTP/1 protocol. RFC 9112 Section 7.1 defined the format of chunk size, chunk data and chunk extension. The value of Content-Length header should be a string of 0-9 digits, the chunk size should be a string of hex digits and should split from chunk data using CRLF, and the chunk extension shouldn\u0027t contain any invisible character. However, Falcon has following behaviors while disobey the corresponding RFCs: accepting Content-Length header values that have \u0060\u002B\u0060 prefix, accepting Content-Length header values that written in hexadecimal with \u00600x\u0060 prefix, accepting \u00600x\u0060 and \u0060\u002B\u0060 prefixed chunk size, and accepting LF in chunk extension. This behavior can lead to desync when forwarding through multiple HTTP parsers, potentially results in HTTP request smuggling and firewall bypassing. This issue is fixed in \u0060protocol-http1\u0060 v0.15.1. There are no known workarounds.",
