Doc Text:
A flaw was found in http-cache-semantics. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information across clients. The _varyMatches() function fails to properly validate Vary header wildcards, enabling an attacker to request URLs previously fetched by other clients and receive cached responses intended for different users. This leads to unauthorized information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-22 20:53:30 UTC
http-cache-semantics through 4.2.0 contains a cache validation vulnerability in the _varyMatches() function that fails to properly validate Vary header wildcards due to byte-for-byte string comparison. Attackers can request URLs previously fetched by other clients to receive cached responses intended for different users, disclosing sensitive information across clients.
