CRLF injection in undici - CVE-2026-1527
Published: April 24, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and smuggle raw data to non-HTTP services.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of CRLF sequences in the upgrade option of client.request() when processing user-controlled input. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted upgrade value to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and smuggle raw data to non-HTTP services.
User interaction is required because an application must pass user-controlled input to the upgrade option.
