CVE-2026-107835

MediumCVSS 4.0
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

OWASP Coraza WAF, a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library, prior to 3.8.1, has a vulnerability in internal/cookies.ParseCookies that handles boundary ASCII control characters and control-only or empty cookie names differently from several backend cookie parsers. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a Cookie header so Coraza indexes or drops a cookie under a different name or value from the backend application, causing rules targeting REQUEST_COOKIES or REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES to miss application-visible attacker data. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1.

Risk Assessment

The risk is bypassing WAF rules, potentially allowing attacks that should be blocked, such as injection or other malicious activities.

Recommendation

Upgrade Coraza WAF to version 3.8.1, which contains the fix. Also ensure rules are aligned with the backend.

Original NVD description (English source)

OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library. Prior to 3.8.1, internal/cookies.ParseCookies in internal/cookies/cookies.go handles boundary ASCII control characters and control-only or empty cookie names differently from several backend cookie parsers. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a Cookie header so Coraza indexes or drops a cookie under a different name or value from the backend application, causing rules targeting REQUEST_COOKIES or REQUEST_COOKIES_NAMES to miss application-visible attacker data. Exploitation depends on the backend parser and affected rule scope, and interior control characters with inconsistent backend behavior are outside this advisory's remediation. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1.
