Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** CGI::Simple versions before 1.282 for Perl has a HTTP response splitting flaw<br />
This vulnerability is a confirmed HTTP response splitting flaw in CGI::Simple that allows HTTP response header injection, which can be used for reflected XSS or open redirect under certain conditions.<br />
<br />
Although some validation exists, it can be bypassed using URL-encoded values, allowing an attacker to inject untrusted content into the response via query parameters.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As a result, an attacker can inject a line break (e.g. %0A) into the parameter value, causing the server to split the HTTP response and inject arbitrary headers or even an HTML/JavaScript body, leading to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), open redirect or other attacks.<br />
<br />
The issue documented in CVE-2010-4410 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-4410 is related but the fix was incomplete.<br />
<br />
Impact<br />
<br />
By injecting %0A (newline) into a query string parameter, an attacker can:<br />
<br />
* Break the current HTTP header<br />
* Inject a new header or entire body<br />
* Deliver a script payload that is reflected in the server’s response<br />
That can lead to the following attacks:<br />
<br />
* reflected XSS<br />
* open redirect<br />
* cache poisoning<br />
* header manipulation
