Last modified

CVE-2026-55202 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Tinyproxy through 1.11.3, fixed in commit 09312a1, fails to properly validate the Host header during stathost detection, allowing unauthenticated attackers to access the stats page by injecting a matching Host header or bypass detection via port manipulation. Remote attackers can trigger unauthorized access to internal proxy statistics or misroute requests as transparent proxy connections to circumvent access controls.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
