HTTP response splitting via unvalidated cookie options
Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026
CRLF injection in hackney 0.9.0 through 4.0.0 allows attackers to split HTTP responses through crafted cookie options. hackney_cookie:setcookie/3 validates cookie names and values but appends domain and path options verbatim, allowing CRLF bytes to create additional Set-Cookie headers. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled data to reach either option; successful injection can overwrite session or authentication cookies.
