CVE-2026-84380: HTTPX2: Conflicting Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers can be auto-generated

September 8, 2026

HTTPX2 can automatically add a Content-Length header to a request that already contains a caller-supplied Transfer-Encoding header. The resulting HTTP/1.1 request contains both framing headers, which can create an ambiguous message boundary and enable request smuggling or connection desynchronization when processed by intermediaries that disagree about which header takes precedence.
