CVE-2016-5325

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-5325 is a CRLF injection vulnerability affecting Node.js versions 0.10.x, 0.12.x, 4.x, and 6.x, as well as SUSE Linux Enterprise. This flaw allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks by manipulating the 'reason' argument in the ServerResponse#writeHead function. Rated as MEDIUM severity (CVSS 6.1), it requires no privileges and low attack complexity, but user interaction is needed for exploitation, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
