Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper handling of HTTP/1.1 request semantics in hyper's client implementation. Key functions involved in request serialization (send_request) and connection management (Conn::send_request) failed to enforce RFC 7230 Section 3.3 which prohibits bodies for GET requests without content-length/transfer-encoding headers. This allowed smuggling by treating the body as a new request. The high confidence for the first function comes from its direct role in request encoding, while the second gets medium confidence due to its position in the protocol handling stack, though exact implementation details without patch diffs require some inference.
