HTTP request splitting via raw query CRLF
Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026
CRLF injection in hackney 0.13.1 through 4.0.0 allows context-dependent attackers to inject HTTP headers or split requests. The hackney_url:make_url/3 routine appends the query binary to the request target without rejecting or percent-encoding carriage returns or line feeds. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled URL content to reach hackney without prior sanitization; injected bytes can alter headers or create a second request to the destination server.
