Machine-written summary

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

Undertow (io.undertow:undertow-parent) versions up to and including 2.3.23.Final are vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling. A remote attacker can send a request whose first header line starts with spaces, which Undertow wrongly strips, and this can be used to bypass security controls, reach restricted resources, or poison web caches. No fixed version is listed.
