CVE-2026-32627

8.7 · HIGH
Published Mar 16, 2026 yhirose CWE-295

Overview

CVE-2026-32627 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting yhirose cpp-httplib. It was published on March 16, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.7 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.7, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to 0.37.2, when a cpp-httplib client is configured with a proxy and set_follow_location(true), any HTTPS redirect it follows will have TLS certificate and hostname verification silently disabled on the new connection. The client will accept any certificate presented by the redirect target — expired, self-signed, or forged — without raising an error or notifying the application. A network attacker in a position to return a redirect response can fully intercept the follow-up HTTPS connection, including any credentials or session tokens in flight. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.37.2.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from yhirose. Update cpp-httplib to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
