Short explanation
An HTTP Request Splitting vulnerability in the benoitc hackney library stems from improper character neutralization in data returned by the proxy_auth_fun callback. This allows HTTP Request Splitting by injecting CR, LF, or NUL bytes into the Proxy-Authorization header.
This vulnerability allows attackers to inject additional header lines into proxy requests, compromising the integrity of HTTP communications between the client and server.
What should be done?
- Follow the vendor security advisories.
- Apply the available patches or updated versions.

Show the technical text from the sources
Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Request/Response Splitting') vulnerability in hackney_http_connect in benoitc hackney allows HTTP Request Splitting via the value a proxy_auth_fun callback returns. After a 407 response from an HTTP CONNECT proxy, hackney_http_connect:handle_proxy_auth/11 calls the caller's proxy_auth_fun with the status code and the response headers and writes the returned binary into the Proxy-Authorization line of the CONNECT retry without checking it. A CR, LF or NUL byte in that value adds header lines to the request sent to the proxy. The value is attacker-influenced when the callback derives it from untrusted data, for example from the proxy's challenge headers. Other caller-supplied values on the CONNECT path, such as the target host and the request headers, were already checked for control bytes. This issue affects hackney: from 2.0.0 before 4.9.0.
