• PyPI Twisted: >= 0.9.4, < 22.10.0rc1 → fixed in 22.10.0rc1
Description
When the host header does not match a configured host, `twisted.web.vhost.NameVirtualHost` will return a `NoResource` resource which renders the Host header unescaped into the 404 response allowing HTML and script injection.
Example configuration:
```python
from twisted.web.server import Site
from twisted.web.vhost import NameVirtualHost
from twisted.internet import reactor
resource = NameVirtualHost()
site = Site(resource)
reactor.listenTCP(8080, site)
reactor.run()
```
Output:
```
❯ curl -H"Host:HELLO THERE" http://localhost:8080/
404 - No Such Resource
No Such Resource
host b'hello there' not in vhost map
```
This vulnerability was introduced in f49041bb67792506d85aeda9cf6157e92f8048f4 and first appeared in the 0.9.4 release.
