CVE-2021-33197
In Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, some configurations of ReverseProxy (from net/http/httputil) result in a situation where an attacker is able to drop arbitrary headers.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
