Details

cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to 0.35.0, when a request handler throws a C++ exception and the application has not registered a custom exception handler via setexceptionhandler(), the library catches the exception and writes its message directly into the HTTP response as a header named EXCEPTIONWHAT. This header is sent to whoever made the request, with no authentication check and no special configuration required to trigger it. The behavior is on by default. A developer who does not know to opt in to setexception_handler() will ship a server that leaks internal exception messages to any client. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.35.0.
