Details

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 (isfieldvalue) 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.
