Summary
Progress Telerik Fiddler Classic for Windows from 1.0.0 before 6.0.20262.10021 is affected. Conflicting Content-Length headers are forwarded unchanged while Fiddler frames the body by the first value, causing request smuggling (CWE-444). A local user with low privilege sharing the proxy with another user can smuggle a request via a non-RFC 9110 compliant origin server that keeps connections alive. Poisoned responses are served to other users, who can receive responses intended for them.

Description from the CNA
In Progress® Telerik® Fiddler® Classic for Windows, versions prior to v6.0.20262.10021, HTTP request smuggling is possible in the proxy request forwarding component. Requests containing multiple Content-Length headers with conflicting values are forwarded verbatim to the origin server, while Fiddler frames the request body using only the first Content-Length value. A local threat actor with low privileges who is able to send requests through the same Fiddler proxy instance as another user can exploit this desynchronization against a non-RFC-9110-compliant origin server that keeps the connection alive to smuggle an additional request. Because Fiddler returns the server connection to its pipe pool after reading only the first response, the unread smuggled response remains buffered on the socket and is served to the next session that reuses that connection, allowing the attacker to poison responses delivered to other users and to obtain responses intended for them.
