CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing CRLF and NUL character in the HTTP request, while converting headers from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request to the HAProxy and inject arbitrary HTTP headers. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass certain security restrictions or perform spoofing attacks.
