CVE-2025-61689 is a high-severity HTTP Request/Response Splitting (CWE-113) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked at the 24th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-15 (Information Output Filtering) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
HTTP.jl is an HTTP client and server functionality for the Julia programming language. Prior to version 1.10.19, HTTP.jl did not validate header names/values for illegal characters, allowing CRLF-based header injection and response splitting. This enables HTTP response splitting and header…

injection, leading to cache poisoning, XSS, session fixation, and more. This issue is fixed in HTTP.jl `v1.10.19`.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Input validation stops unneutralized CR/LF characters from being accepted and later emitted in HTTP headers.
Output filtering can neutralize CRLF sequences before they reach HTTP response headers.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input sanitization and header handling that prevent CRLF injection.

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect CRLF injection flaws before deployment.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents CRLF injection into HTTP headers.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including HTTP header manipulation.
Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of header-splitting vulnerabilities through proper component isolation.
Secure coding standards require neutralization of CRLF sequences before inclusion in HTTP headers.
Logging of HTTP traffic can record header-splitting attempts, aiding detection and forensics.
