#37101 new Bug

Vary header cache key collision from missing delimiter

Description

When a cached view varies on multiple headers, the values of those headers are concatenated together in the cache key. There is no delimiter, meaning the cache keys could overlap:

   X-Region: US
   X-Tenant: victim-corp
   X-Region: U
   X-Tenant: Svictim-corp

The above 2 examples would result in the same cache key, despite being different values. Changes to the cache key should be made to ensure values in this way don't collide.


This was previously reported to the Security Team by GeonHa. However, because it requires in depth knowledge of the system, a lack of user validation and similar values, it is not considered a vulnerability.
