What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, users should avoid using vulnerable versions of BusyBox wget or implement network-level controls to detect and block malicious HTTP request patterns that include raw CR/LF characters in request-targets. Encoding spaces as %20 in URLs is recommended to avoid triggering the vulnerability.
Description
BusyBox wget thru 1.3.7 accepted raw CR (0x0D)/LF (0x0A) and other C0 control bytes in the HTTP request-target (path/query), allowing the request line to be split and attacker-controlled headers to be injected. To preserve the HTTP/1.1 request-line shape METHOD SP request-target SP HTTP/1.1, a raw space (0x20) in the request-target must also be rejected (clients should use %20).
