CVE-2026-44974: Hapijs Content

High severity, CVSS 7.7. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

@hapi/content provided HTTP Content-* headers parsing. Prior to 6.0.2, Content.disposition() retained the last occurrence of each duplicate parameter while Content.type() retained the first occurrence of duplicate charset and boundary parameters, creating a parameter-smuggling primitive when another component in the request-processing chain resolves duplicates the opposite way. This can allow an upload filename allowlist bypass in headers such as Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="safe.txt"; filename="shell.php". This issue is fixed in version 6.0.2.

Affected products

• Hapijs Content: before 6.0.2 (fixed in 6.0.2)
