- Summary
- Missing validation of header name and value in codeigniter4/framework
- Details
-
Impact
Lack of proper header validation for its name and value. The potential attacker can construct deliberately malformed headers with
Headerclass. This could disrupt application functionality, potentially causing errors or generating invalid HTTP requests. In some cases, these malformed requests might lead to a DoS scenario if a remote service’s web application firewall interprets them as malicious and blocks further communication with the application.Patches
Upgrade to v4.5.8 or later.
Workarounds
Validate HTTP header keys and/or values if using user-supplied values before passing them to
Headerclass.Differences from CVE-2023-29197
