HTTP/2 request body inspection bypass in Amazon CloudFront with AWS WAF

IdentifiersCVE-2026-13762CWE-444

CVE-2026-13762 is a vulnerability affecting Amazon CloudFront deployments with AWS WAF enabled. The issue stems from inconsistent interpretation of HTTP/2 requests during request body inspection. A remote attacker can craft HTTP/2 requests that fragment the request body across multiple frames such that AWS WAF managed rules inspect only a partial body rather than the complete payload. This creates a parser/inspection discrepancy in which malicious content placed in uninspected portions of the body may evade WAF detection and filtering.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can allow a remote attacker to bypass AWS WAF managed rule body inspection for affected CloudFront deployments. As a result, malicious payloads embedded in the uninspected portion of an HTTP/2 request body may reach the origin application without being blocked by the WAF, potentially enabling follow-on attacks against backend applications depending on the nature of the payload and origin-side exposure.

Mitigation
