December 2023 brought one of email’s most elegant attacks: SMTP smuggling, a parser-level desync that tricks receiving servers into writing attacker-authored messages that pass SPF and DMARC because the victim’s own infrastructure vouches for them. This deep dive covers the technique mechanics (end-of-data ambiguity, the second hidden MAIL FROM conversation), the December 19 disclosure and DHL demonstration, the two anchoring CVEs, which product families patched, and the durable lessons for mail admins running anything that speaks SMTP.
CVE-2023-46747 let unauthenticated attackers smuggle requests through BIG-IP TMM into the iControl REST management plane — a framing bug that became full device compromise. Exploitation followed the October patch within days, and CISA put it on the KEV catalog before month end.
Learn error-based exploitation techniques used by pentesters to extract sensitive data from vulnerable applications. Covers SQL injection, SSTI, and other injection-based attacks with practical examples and mitigation strategies.
One curl request to /.git/HEAD hands attackers your full source, every commit ever made, deleted files, and usually a working credential. A decade of research says this mistake is not aging out. Here is the exploit chain — and the three-layer fix.
Your front end and your back end disagree about where one request ends and the next begins. The smuggled prefix slides under the WAF, defeats the rate limiter, and poisons the cache under someone else else URL. How CL-TE and TE-CL desyncs work, and the configuration discipline that closes them.
