Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection via the setcookie/3 function in the cookie header builder. An attacker can inject a second Set-Cookie header by supplying a crafted domain or path value through request-derived input such as the Host header, request path, or tenant configuration. This lets the attacker set arbitrary cookies in the victim’s browser, enabling session fixation or other cookie-based abuse against users of applications that pass untrusted data into cookie options.
