Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for undertow.

CVE-2026-28369[0]:
| A flaw was found in Undertow. When Undertow receives an HTTP request
| where the first header line starts with one or more spaces, it
| incorrectly processes the request by stripping these leading spaces.
| This behavior, which violates HTTP standards, can be exploited by a
| remote attacker to perform request smuggling. Request smuggling
| allows an attacker to bypass security mechanisms, access restricted
| information, or manipulate web caches, potentially leading to
| unauthorized actions or data exposure.
