Vulnerability identifier: #VU112734

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42516

CWE-ID: CWE-113

Exploitation vector: Remote access

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not correctly process CRLF character sequences. A remote attacker with ability to manipulate the Content-Type response headers of applications hosted or proxied by the server can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
