Summary

Apache Traffic Server from 8.0.0 through 8.1.11, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.15, from 10.0.0 through 10.1.4, and 10.2.0 is affected. The origin_server_auth plugin lets a client choose AWS request headers that the proxy then signs with its own IAM credentials (CWE-863). A remote client needs no privileges or user interaction to trigger the signing of attacker-chosen headers.
