## Overview

A flaw was found in undici. An attacker-controlled upstream server can exploit a vulnerability in Undici's HTTP/1.1 client, specifically related to response queue poisoning on reused keep-alive sockets. This allows the attacker to inject an unsolicited HTTP/1.1 response onto an idle socket. Consequently, when the client dispatches a new request on that socket, it may associate the injected response with the new request, leading to responses being delivered to unintended recipients or requests. This could result in a low impact on data integrity.
