NameCVE-2019-12523
DescriptionAn issue was discovered in Squid before 4.9. When handling a URN request, a corresponding HTTP request is made.

This causes all access checks to be bypassed and allows access to restricted HTTP servers, e.g., an attacker can connect to HTTP servers that only listen on localhost.
