Description
The issue arises when untrusted user input is used to build header values, allowing an attacker to inject malicious content by adding carriage return line feeds (
r ) to end the HTTP response headers. This can lead to a potential XSS vulnerability, enabling the attacker to inject additional headers or a new response body.Recommendations
For all versions, consider validating and sanitizing user input to prevent the injection of malicious characters, such as
r , into HTTP response headers. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of user-inputted data in building header values until a more comprehensive fix is available.Exploitability
