Unauthenticated HTTP header injection via decoded redirect path
Published May 22, 2024 · Updated Jan 5, 2026
CRLF injection in Ritlabs TinyWeb Server 1.94 allows remote attackers to inject HTTP response headers through crafted request URLs. UnpackPchars decodes percent-encoded CR and LF bytes into URIPath, and ReturnNewLocation copies that path into a 302 Location header without filtering. No authentication is required; the request must trigger a redirect, enabling response splitting, attacker-chosen headers, and log spoofing.
