Security scans show Request Smuggling vulnerability on IIS server.
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way that HTTP proxies (front-end) and web servers (back-end) that do not strictly adhere to RFC standards handle sequences of HTTP requests received from multiple sources. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to a targeted IIS Server, perform HTTP request smuggling attack and modify responses or retrieve information from another user's HTTP session.
