Overview

bandit is a HTTP server for Plug and WebSock apps.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection via the read_headers function. An attacker can inject CR, LF, or NUL characters into HTTP/2 header field values by sending specially crafted HTTP/2 requests. This can result in unvalidated header values being passed to downstream applications, potentially leading to header smuggling or manipulation of application logic.
