Summary

CVE-2026-90937 is a critical-severity CRLF Injection (CWE-93) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.4 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 18th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly stops untrusted data containing CRLF sequences from reaching the component that treats CRLF as a delimiter.

Secure SDLC practices directly require input neutralization and validation to block CRLF injection.

prevents

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

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for neutralizing special characters such as CRLF in inputs.

prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage safe handling of untrusted data but do not prescribe specific CRLF controls.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require neutralization of CRLF sequences, fully addressing this weakness.

finds

Security testing can detect CRLF flaws but does not itself implement the neutralization.
