Response splitting via unvalidated header values
Published Jul 28, 2026 · Updated Jul 28, 2026
HTTP response splitting in tomaka Rouille 0.4.0 through 3.6.2 allows remote attackers to inject headers through crafted input. Server::process passes response header values to tiny_http after only an ASCII check, while Request::get_param percent-decodes CRLF and session::session copies a client Cookie value into Set-Cookie. Exploitation requires an application to reflect request-derived text into a response header or use the session helper; a victim link or shared cache can turn the primitive into cache poisoning, session fixation, or security-header override.
