Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Puma versions prior to 4.3.2
Puma versions prior to 3.12.3
Description:
The issue is related to HTTP Response Splitting, where an attacker can use newline characters (
CR, LF, or /r, /n) to end a header and inject malicious content, such as additional headers or a new response body. This can be a vector for other attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS).Recommendations:
For versions prior to 4.3.2, update to version 4.3.2 or later.
For versions prior to 3.12.3, update to version 3.12.3 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting untrusted input in response headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
