Multipart header injection via unvalidated file metadata
Published Sep 2, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026
CRLF injection in Pydantic HTTPX2 before 2.11.0 allows remote attackers to alter multipart part semantics via crafted file metadata. FileField.render_headers() inserts content_type values and custom header names and values from files= tuples between CRLF delimiters without rejecting control characters. Exploitation requires an application to pass attacker-controlled upload metadata into HTTPX2; injected lines can become genuine downstream part headers or bypass header-based checks.
