Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP response headers.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of CRLF sequences in the parseSetCookie cookie parser when processing a crafted Set-Cookie header containing percent-encoded delimiter bytes. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted upstream Set-Cookie header to inject arbitrary HTTP response headers.
Exploitation requires an application to parse a Set-Cookie header using parseSetCookie, parseCookie, or getSetCookies and then forward the parsed value into a downstream response header.
