CVE-2026-2332
HIGHCVE-2026-2332 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.4) vulnerability in org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-2332 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
HTTP Request Smuggling via Chunked Extension Quoted-String Parsing

This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In Eclipse Jetty, the HTTP/1.1 parser is vulnerable to request smuggling when chunk extensions are used, similar to the "funky chunks" techniques outlined here:
Jetty terminates chunk extension parsing at \r\n inside quoted strings instead of treating this as an error.
POST / HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost Transfer-Encoding: chunked
1;ext="val X 0
GET /smuggled HTTP/1.1 ...
Note how the chunk extension does not close the double quotes, and it is able to inject a smuggled request.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http to 12.1.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-2332 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-2332 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-2332. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-2332 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2026-2332 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
