A flaw was found in ninenines cowlib. This vulnerability, due to improper encoding or escaping of output, allows an attacker to perform Link header directive smuggling. By manipulating the target URI, 'rel' value, or attribute keys in applications that process Link headers through cowlib, a remote attacker can inject malicious directives. This can force victim browsers to establish out-of-band connections to attacker-controlled servers, potentially leading to information disclosure or bypassing security controls.
