Summary
Missing validation of header name and value in codeigniter4/framework
Details

Impact

Lack of proper header validation for its name and value. The potential attacker can construct deliberately malformed headers with Header class. This could disrupt application functionality, potentially causing errors or generating invalid HTTP requests. In some cases, these malformed requests might lead to a DoS scenario if a remote service’s web application firewall interprets them as malicious and blocks further communication with the application.

Patches

Upgrade to v4.5.8 or later.

Workarounds

Validate HTTP header keys and/or values if using user-supplied values before passing them to Header class.

Differences from CVE-2023-29197

  2. Root Cause and Implementation:

    • The vulnerability reported arises from an issue in the Header class of CodeIgniter4, which is unrelated to the functionality or implementation of guzzlehttp/psr7.

  3. Scope of Impact:

    • The vulnerability described in this Security Advisory affects applications built with the CodeIgniter4 framework, which does not use or rely on the guzzlehttp/psr7 library.
