How to fix?

Upgrade Twisted to version 23.10.0rc1 or higher.

Overview

Twisted is an event-based network programming and multi-protocol integration framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') when sending multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, the twisted.web function processes the requests asynchronously without guaranteeing the response order. An attacker can manipulate the response of the second request by delaying the response to the first request when a victim launches two requests using the HTTP pipeline.
