  The
• 0:21
  vulnerability
• 0:21
  is
• 0:21
  trivial
• 0:22
  to
• 0:22
  exploit:
• 0:23
  Starlette
• 0:23
  reconstructs
• 0:24
  the
• 0:24
  requested

  URL
• 0:25
  from

  the
• 0:25
  Host
• 0:25
  header
• 0:26
  without
• 0:26
  validation,
• 0:27
  while
• 0:27
  its
• 0:27
  routing
• 0:27
  engine
• 0:28
  uses
• 0:28
  the
• 0:28
  actual

  request
• 0:29
  path.
• 0:30
  This
• 0:30
  mismatch
• 0:30
  means
• 0:31
  that

  is

  comparing

  apples

  The
• 0:41
  blast
• 0:41
  radius
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  enormous
• 0:43
  because

  Starlette

  FastAPI,
