HTTP message splitting via unvalidated outbound headers
Published Jan 24, 2024 · Updated May 30, 2025
HTTP splitting in Trillium's trillium-http before 0.3.12 and trillium-client before 0.5.4 allows attackers to desynchronize HTTP messages. The HeaderName and HeaderValue types accepted CR, LF, and null bytes infallibly, and outbound client requests and server responses serialized them without validation. Exploitation requires an application to place attacker-controlled input in outbound header names or values; successful CRLF injection can expose other requests or redirect server-side traffic.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=< 0.3.12
- Affected versionversion=< 0.5.4
