Description

Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences vulnerability in benoitc hackney allows HTTP Request Splitting. hackney does not percent-encode carriage return (\r) or line feed (\n) characters in the URL query component before constructing the HTTP/1.1 request target. Characters outside the grammar defined in RFC 3986 Section 3.4 must be percent-encoded, but hackney_url:make_url/3 passes the query binary directly without validation or escaping. An attacker who can control all or part of a URL passed to hackney can inject raw CRLF sequences into the query string, which are then sent as HTTP line breaks in the request target. This enables injection of arbitrary HTTP headers or splitting of the HTTP request. This issue affects hackney: from 0 before 4.0.1.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 4.0.10.13.1 ≤ v < 4.0.10.13.18bb1a359a81ae58567c84f8d24564e9742e6f2bd
Vendor states this is fixed in ca73dd0aba0ed557449c18288bf07241671a43c9 (fixed)
Affected range stops below 4.0.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
