Summary

See accompanying discussion in T11359.

As far as I can tell we aren't vulnerable, but subprocesses could be (now, or in the future). Reject any request which may have a Proxy: header.

This will also do a false-positive reject if HTTP_PROXY is defined in the environment, but this is likely a misconfiguration (cURL does not read it). I'll provide guidance on this.

Test Plan
  • Made requests using curl -H Proxy:..., got rejected.
  • Made normal requests, got normal pages.
