Guzzle: Noncanonical host can bypass host-based checks
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for guzzlehttp/guzzle, guzzlehttp/guzzle. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning

source listed< 7.15.2
### Impact In affected versions, Guzzle gives a transport the request URI as text and supplies the `Host` header separately. The cURL handlers set `CURLOPT_URL` to the URI exactly as written and push that `Host` into `CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER`; `StreamHandler` does the same through `fopen()`. libcurl then parses the authority itself, percent-decoding it and, on an IDN-capable build, applying IDNA mapping, and uses the result to resolve, connect, name the TLS peer and address a proxy `CONNECT`, while the supplied `Host` suppresses the aligned one it would have generated. In `http://127.0.0.%31/` the URI host is one `filter_var()` rejects as an IP literal, yet libcurl decodes it to `127.0.0.1` and reaches loopback with no DNS lookup while the server receives `Host: 127.0.0.%31`. An attacker who influences a fetched URI can therefore reach a host the application's checks excluded and read whatever it exposes of the response. The same divergence moves Guzzle's own decisions onto a spelling the transport does not use: `no_proxy` selects proxy routing from the literal host, and `RedirectMiddleware` decides from it whether to strip `Authorization` and `Cookie`. The cookie middleware extracts

What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 7.15.2 for guzzlehttp/guzzle. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.

- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 8.0.1 for guzzlehttp/guzzle. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
