SSRF via malformed Host authority reinterpretation
Published Jun 11, 2026 · Updated Jun 11, 2026
Improper Host validation in Guzzle PSR-7 before 2.10.2 allows remote attackers to redirect forwarding decisions via malformed headers. Message::parseRequest() and ServerRequest URI construction accept Host values containing authority delimiters, so @ can be reinterpreted as URI userinfo and host. Exposure requires an application to parse attacker-controlled inbound requests and trust the derived URI host for routing, allow-list, credential-selection, or forwarding decisions, which can send requests or credentials to an unintended host.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
