Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GHSA-mhvj-jhpq-885v affects blaze's Java HTTP/1.1 wire parser in several Maven packages: org.http4s:http4s-blaze-server_2.13 before 0.23.18, org.http4s:blaze-http_2.13 before 0.23.18 and from 1.0.0-M1 to before 1.0.0-M42, and org.http4s:blaze-http_3 with the same ranges. Exploitation requires a fronting proxy that parses malformed requests differently from blaze, letting an attacker bypass front-end access controls or poison responses and caches. Upgrade to 0.23.18 or 1.0.0-M42. Deploying behind a strict reverse proxy that rejects malformed requests is a workaround.
