Identity spoofing via accepted CRLF header characters
Published Jan 21, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
HTTP response splitting in affected Payara Server and Payara Micro releases allows local users to manipulate state and spoof identities. The Grizzly HTTP parser and Server REST management interface accept CRLF and other disallowed characters inside header values instead of rejecting them. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and active user interaction, and injected header boundaries can alter HTTP message interpretation and identity-related state.
