There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks good to me
HTTP/1.1 allows chunked transfer encoding, where Content-Length is absent or misleading. An attacker can craft a request with a body but no valid Content-Length, and the code before would skip AppSec analysis completely on that body. This could be an AppSec bypass vector.
A bit of context for users:
An attacker could bypass AppSec inspection entirely by sending a request with a body but setting Content-Length: 0 (or omitting the header entirely, which defaults to -1 in Go's http.Request). Since ContentLength <= 0 was falsy in the condition, the body would never be forwarded to AppSec for analysis, even though it contained potentially malicious payload.
