CVE-2023-32762

Qt Network incorrectly parses the strict-transport-security (HSTS) header, allowing unencrypted connections to be established, even when explicitly prohibited by the server.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.88%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.88%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in Qt before 5.15.14, 6.x before 6.2.9, and 6.3.x through 6.5.x before 6.5.1. Qt Network incorrectly parses the strict-transport-security (HSTS) header, allowing unencrypted connections to be established, even when explicitly prohibited by the server. This happens if the case used for this header does not exactly match.
