AI Analysis

Impact

CrowCpp Crow through version 1.3.1 is vulnerable to response header injection because the framework does not validate values written into HTTP response headers. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker can inject arbitrary header values by sending specially crafted HTTP requests, which could enable the modification or hijacking of HTTP responses and potentially lead to information disclosure, impersonation, or injection of malicious content.

Affected Systems

All deployments of CrowCpp Crow that use version 1.3.1 or earlier are affected. No vendor‑specific information has been disclosed, so any application that incorporates this library may be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not published and the EPSS score is unavailable; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the likely attack vector is sending HTTP requests with unvalidated header values to an application that uses CrowCpp. The risk therefore depends on the exposure of Crow-based applications and the presence of user‑controlled header inputs.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade CrowCpp to the latest release that includes the response header validation fix.
  • Apply the patch referenced in pull request #1167 if you cannot upgrade the library package, by replacing the affected code in your project with the patched version.
  • Implement input validation on any headers generated by your application to reject CR, LF, or non‑ASCII characters before they are written to the response.
  • Deploy a web application firewall or equivalent that blocks responses containing malformed or unexpected header lines.
