How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Response Splitting via the HTTP/1.1 request parsing logic in sanic/http/http1.py, where malformed or conflicting transfer-encoding and content-length headers allow an attacker to inject a smuggled request into the processing pipeline. This can result in partial confidentiality loss and high-impact integrity violations against backend request handling.
