CVE-2020-6982

Remote code execution via HTTP header injection

Published Mar 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

HTTP header injection in Honeywell WIN-PAK 4.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code over an adjacent network. The Web component fails to neutralize attacker-controlled HTTP header content before downstream processing; public advisories identify no more specific handler or code path. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the attacker must reach the Web component from the same or an adjacent network.
