Improper HTTP header block termination in llhttp which enables request smuggling, allowing attackers to bypass proxy-based access controls and submit unauthorized requests. This vulnerability affects only Node.js 20.x users prior to the llhttp v9 upgrade.

Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client for Node.js. Prior to versions 5.29.0, 6.21.2, and 7.5.0, applications that use undici to implement a webhook-like system are vulnerable. If the attacker set up a server with an invalid certificate, and they can force the application to call the webhook repeatedly, then they can cause a memory leak. This has been patched in versions 5.29.0, 6.21.2, and 7.5.0. As a workaound, avoid calling a webhook repeatedly if the webhook fails. (CVE-2025-47279)
