Request header injection via unsanitized header fields
Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Jan 27, 2026
HTTP header injection in Happy Hacking Space Gakido before 0.1.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary request headers. The canonicalize_headers() function in gakido/headers.py merges user-supplied header names and values without removing CR, LF, or null bytes. Reachability requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled fields into a request method; exploitation modifies the outbound request, while downstream cache or session effects depend on intermediary behavior.

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.
