A flaw was found in netty-codec-http. The WebSocket handshaker in this component fails to properly validate protocol version information during the WebSocket upgrade process. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the WebSocket handshake, leading to a bypass of security checks or the negotiation of unexpected protocol versions. This could potentially enable protocol-level attacks.
