Weakness (CWE)

CWE-93: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences

Base Draft

The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.

How to prevent it (2 mitigations)
  1. Implementation

    Avoid using CRLF as a special sequence.

  2. Implementation

    Appropriately filter or quote CRLF sequences in user-controlled input.
