Starman versions before 0.4018 for Perl allows HTTP Request Smuggling via Improper Header Precedence

Starman versions before 0.4018 for Perl allows HTTP Request Smuggling via Improper Header Precedence.

Starman incorrectly prioritizes "Content-Length" over "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" when both headers are present in an HTTP request. Per RFC 7230 3.3.3, Transfer-Encoding must take precedence.

An attacker could exploit this to smuggle malicious HTTP requests via a front-end reverse proxy.

CWE-444 Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling')

The product acts as an intermediary HTTP agent (such as a proxy or firewall) in the data flow between two entities such as a client and server, but it does not interpret malformed HTTP requests or responses in ways that are consistent with how the messages will be processed by those entities that are at the ultimate destination.
