Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') in the handling of HTTP headers, specifically X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP. An attacker can impersonate arbitrary client IP addresses to backend services by injecting crafted headers, potentially bypassing IP-based access controls, rate limiting, audit logging, and geo-blocking enforced by the backend. This is only exploitable if the backend service relies on the first element of X-Forwarded-For or the value of X-Real-IP for authentication or authorization decisions.
