Discussion

Mono 'System.Web' HTTP Header Injection Vulnerability

Mono is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers because it fails to sanitize input.

By inserting arbitrary headers into an HTTP response, attackers may be able to launch cross-site request-forgery, cross-site scripting, HTTP-request-smuggling, and other attacks.

This issue affects Mono 2.0 and earlier.
