CVE-2026-28368
This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to construct specially crafted requests where header names are parsed differently by Undertow compared to upstream proxies.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.70%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
