Web policy bypass via malformed client requests
Published Dec 14, 2024 · Updated Dec 16, 2024
Web policy bypass in Menlo Security On-Premise Appliance before 2.88 allows remote attackers to evade policy via malformed client requests. The request-processing path inconsistently applies configured web policy when handling intentionally malformed client requests. Unauthenticated network access is the gate, and successful requests bypass intended policy controls; the vendor has not disclosed the affected parser or malformed syntax.
