Summary

CVE-2026-7010 is a medium-severity HTTP Request/Response Splitting (CWE-113) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Content Injection (T1659); ranked at the 13th 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::Tiny versions before 0.093 for Perl do not validate CRLF in HTTP request lines or control field header values. The unvalidated inputs are the method and URI in the request line, the URL host that becomes the `Host:` header, and…

more

HTTP/1.1 control data field values. An attacker who controls one of these inputs, for example a user supplied URL passed to a webhook or URL fetch endpoint, can inject additional headers and smuggle requests to the upstream server.

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.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect CRLF injection flaws before deployment.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevents CRLF injection into HTTP headers.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including HTTP header manipulation.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the likelihood of header-splitting vulnerabilities through proper component isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards require neutralization of CRLF sequences before inclusion in HTTP headers.
