Description Pedro Sampaio 2022-11-30 16:50:15 UTC
cgi.rb in Ruby through 2.6.x, through 3.0x, and through 3.1.x allows HTTP header injection. If a CGI application using the CGI library inserts untrusted input into the HTTP response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients.
