Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Tinyproxy. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to internal proxy statistics or misroute requests. This is possible due to improper validation of the Host header during stathost detection, which can be exploited by injecting a matching Host header or manipulating ports to bypass detection. The primary impact is the circumvention of access controls, leading to potential information disclosure and redirection of network traffic.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-17 20:02:06 UTC
Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit 09312a1, fails to properly validate the Host header during stathost detection, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access the stats page by injecting a matching Host header or bypass detection via port manipulation. Remote attackers can trigger unauthorized access to internal proxy statistics or misroute requests as transparent proxy connections to circumvent access controls.
