CRITICAL 9.3REMOTEWATCHLIST
CVE-2026-111816 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.3) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Apache Traffic Server forwarded a malformed 302 response that should have been rejected as a parse error, because the Transfer-Encoding: chunked carve-out bypassed the rejection path. A response that two peers can read differently is then stored and served, allowing cache poisoning and response-framing desync. This issue affects Apache Traffic Server: from 8.0.0 through 8.1.11, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.15, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.4, 10.2.0.
