Doc Text:	A host header injection flaw was found in the twisted event-based framework's web module. When the host header does not match a configured host, the web module will render unescaped characters into the 404 response. This can result in HTML and script injection. For this vulnerability to be exploited, the attacker needs to be in a privileged position.	Story Points:	---

Description ybuenos 2022-11-02 13:57:25 UTC

Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications. Started with version 0.9.4, when the host header does not match a configured host `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource` resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404 response allowing HTML and script injection. In practice this should be very difficult to exploit as being able to modify the Host header of a normal HTTP request implies that one is already in a privileged position. This issue was fixed in version 22.10.0rc1. There are no known workarounds.
