CVE-2020-11078 — CRLF injection in httplib2

Affected: httplib2

In httplib2 before version 0.18.0, an attacker controlling unescaped part of uri for `httplib2.Http.request()` could change request headers and body, send additional hidden requests to same server. This vulnerability impacts software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping. This has been fixed in 0.18.0.

GHSA-gg84-qgv9-w4pq — CRLF injection in httplib2

Affected: PyPI: httplib2

### Impact Attacker controlling unescaped part of uri for `httplib2.Http.request()` could change request headers and body, send additional hidden requests to same server.

Impacts software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping.

### Patches Problem has been fixed in 0.18.0 Space, CR, LF characters are now quoted before any use. This solution should not impact any valid usage of httplib2 library, that is uri constructed by urllib.

### Workarounds Create URI with `urllib.parse` family functions: `urlencode`, `urlunsplit`.

```diff user_input = " HTTP/1.1\r\ninjected: attack\r\nignore-http:" -uri = "https://api.server/?q={}".format(user_input) +uri = urllib.parse.urlunsplit(("https", "api.server", "/v1", urllib.parse.urlencode({"q": user_input}), "")) http.request(uri) ```
