That element is supplied by the originating HTTP client and is not validated against any trusted-proxy list. A single attacker can therefore obtain an unlimited number of independent rate-limit buckets — one per unique header value — and completely bypass the gateway's request-rate limiting on every route that uses the shipped default configuration.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":41,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":41.3,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":222348,"id":"CVE-2026-110723","ts":1792073295575,"field":"cvss","old":null,"new":"7.5"},{"seq":222347,"id":"CVE-2026-110723","ts":1792073295575,"field":"severity","old":"none","new":"high"}]}
