HIGH 7.5

Description

cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to version 0.30.0, the ``write_headers`` function does not check for CR & LF characters in user supplied headers, allowing untrusted header value to escape header lines. This vulnerability allows attackers to add extra headers, modify request body unexpectedly & trigger an SSRF attack. When combined with a server that supports http1.1 pipelining (springboot, python twisted etc), this can be used for server side request forgery (SSRF). Version 0.30.0 fixes this issue.

Analysis

Cpp-Httplib versions up to 0.30.0 contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to add extra headers, modify request body unexpectedly & trigger an SSRF attack (CVSS 7.5).
