Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection via the request, request_streaming, send_headers, and request_async entry points in hackney_conn. An attacker can inject extra header lines or split the HTTP request by supplying a path or query string containing raw CR, LF, or NUL bytes. This lets a caller-controlled URL corrupt the outbound request sent by the client, enabling header injection and request splitting against servers that receive the traffic.
