Guzzle · Guzzlehttp/Psr7 · CVE-2023-29197
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
guzzlehttp/psr7 versions prior to 1.9.1
guzzlehttp/psr7 versions prior to 2.4.5
**Description**
The issue concerns improper header parsing, allowing an attacker to sneak in a newline (`
`) into both the header names and values. Many servers will also accept `
` to terminate the header list, which is not in line with the specification that states `r
r
` should be used. This could potentially lead to application errors or invalid HTTP requests being sent out, possibly causing a denial of service vector if a remote service's web application firewall bans the application due to the receipt of malformed requests.
**Recommendations**
For guzzlehttp/psr7 versions prior to 1.9.1, upgrade to version 1.9.1 or later.
For guzzlehttp/psr7 versions prior to 2.4.5, upgrade to version 2.4.5 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider validating HTTP header keys and/or values, and if using user-supplied values, filter them to strip off leading or trailing newline characters before processing.
