Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 May 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately upgrade Ritlabs TinyWeb Server from version 1.94 to version 1.99 or later, which contains the official patch for CVE-2024-5193. Until the upgrade is applied, network-level mitigations such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block HTTP requests containing suspicious CRLF injection patterns (%0D%0A sequences). Security teams should audit server logs for unusual HTTP header manipulations or anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data processed by the web server. Additionally, organizations should monitor threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploit activity related to this vulnerability. For critical environments, consider isolating affected servers behind reverse proxies that can enforce header integrity. Finally, ensure incident response plans include procedures for CRLF injection and HTTP response splitting scenarios.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in Ritlabs TinyWeb Server 1.94. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the component Request Handler. The manipulation with the input %0D%0A leads to crlf injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.99 is able to resolve this issue. The identifier of the patch is d49c3da6a97e950975b18626878f3ee1f082358e. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily to web services relying on Ritlabs TinyWeb Server 1.94. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to manipulate HTTP responses, leading to cache poisoning or injection of malicious scripts, which can compromise user data confidentiality and integrity. This may result in session hijacking, phishing, or distribution of malware via trusted domains. Organizations operating critical infrastructure or handling sensitive data could face reputational damage and regulatory scrutiny under GDPR if user data is compromised. The ease of remote exploitation without authentication increases the threat landscape, especially for publicly accessible web servers. However, the absence of known active exploits reduces immediate risk, though the public availability of exploit code necessitates prompt action. The impact on availability is minimal, but the integrity and confidentiality risks warrant attention.
