    CVE-2013-2503

    Published: 11 Mar 2013Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Privoxy before 3.0.21 does not properly handle Proxy-Authenticate and Proxy-Authorization headers in the client-server data stream, which makes it easier for remote HTTP servers to spoof the intended proxy service via a 407 (aka Proxy Authentication Required) HTTP status code.
