AI-suggested

Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, avoid including untrusted user input directly in HTTP response headers or implement input validation and sanitization to neutralize CR/LF characters in headers.

Description

HCL AION contains a vulnerability where user input is improperly handled in HTTP response headers, allowing injection of CR/LF characters. This can enable HTTP response splitting, potentially leading to header injection or response manipulation under certain conditions. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.5.
