In Pallets Werkzeug versions 2.1.0 and below, improper parsing of HTTP requests allows attackers to perform HTTP Request Smuggling by sending specially crafted HTTP requests containing multiple requests within the body. This vulnerability arises due to the way Werkzeug parses HTTP requests, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass security controls or interfere with request processing when used in certain unsupported configurations.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2022-29361, a client-side HTTP desynchronization vulnerability in Werkzeug 2.1.0 (used by Flask). The structure includes two main components: a 'vulnerable' Flask application running Werkzeug 2.1.0, and a 'poc' exploit server, both containerized via Docker. The exploit works by submitting a specially crafted POST request from the exploit server to the vulnerable server, leveraging a browser-based attack vector to trigger XSS. The main exploit logic is in 'poc/src/app.py', which serves a form and JavaScript to automate the attack. The endpoints involved are local HTTP servers on ports 5000 (exploit) and 5001 (vulnerable). The repository is well-structured for demonstration and testing, with clear separation between the vulnerable target and the exploit code.
