Overview

Twisted is an event-based network programming and multi-protocol integration framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Header Injection. twisted.web.client.Request and twisted.web.client.HTTPClient are both vulnerable to header injection attacks due to not properly sanitising linear whitespace ('\r', '\n', and '\r\n').
