FKIE_CVE-2026-45372

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-29 20:16 - Updated: 2026-07-22 06:10
Severity
9.9 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L
Summary
cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to 0.44.0, when cpp-httplib's server parses an incoming request, it applies percent-decoding to every header value except Location and Referer. The validity check (is_field_value) is run before decoding, so encoded %0D%0A passes the check and is then expanded to a literal \r\n byte pair inside the stored header value. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.44.0.

La comprobaci\u00f3n de validez (is_field_value) se ejecuta antes de la decodificaci\u00f3n, por lo que el %0D%0A codificado pasa la comprobaci\u00f3n y luego se expande a un par de bytes literal \\r\\n dentro del valor de cabecera almacenado.
