Response poisoning via incorrect transfer-coding framing
Published Sep 28, 2026 · Updated Sep 28, 2026
HTTP response smuggling in Mint before 1.11.0 allows remote attackers controlling an HTTP/1 server to poison responses on pooled connections. In lib/mint/http1.ex, message_body/1 selects chunked framing from the first Transfer-Encoding coding rather than the final coding; Mint also retains faulty HTTP/1.0 keep-alive responses. An RFC-compliant intermediary and a reused connection are required for appended bytes to become a later request's response while genuine responses shift onward.

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.
