Header injection via unvalidated HTTP start-line fields
Published Jun 23, 2026 · Updated Jun 23, 2026
CRLF injection in Guzzle PSR-7 before 2.12.1 allows remote attackers to inject header lines through serialized HTTP/1.x messages. Request methods, protocol versions, and response reason phrases accept CR or LF, and Message serialization writes those values into raw start lines without rejecting injected line breaks. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled data to enter one of those fields and the malformed message to be serialized and processed by an HTTP/1.x component; standard Guzzle client use is not affected.

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.
