CVE-2026-1760: Libsoup: soupserver: denial of service via http request smuggling
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.47% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: libsoup (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 3.4.4-150600.3.37.1; libsoup2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.74.3-150600.4.30.1; libsoup (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 3.6.6-160000.1.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to libsoup (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 3.4.4-150600.3.37.1; libsoup2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 2.74.3-150600.4.30.1; libsoup (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 3.6.6-160000.1.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in SoupServer. This HTTP request smuggling vulnerability occurs because SoupServer improperly handles requests that combine Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Connection: keep-alive headers. A remote, unauthenticated client can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests, causing SoupServer to fail to close the connection as required by RFC 9112. This allows the attacker to smuggle additional requests over the persistent connection, leading to unintended request processing and potential denial-of-service (DoS) conditions.
