Netty HTTP/2 Header Field Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2026-93579)
CVE-2026-93579 Published on September 18, 2026

Io.netty/netty-codec-http2: netty: http/2 header field values are not validated by default (cr/lf/nul passthrough)
A flaw was found in Netty's HTTP/2 stack. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject prohibited characters, such as NUL, Line Feed, and Carriage Return, into HTTP/2 header field values due to insufficient validation. When these values cross an HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1 translation boundary, they can be exploited for request smuggling, header injection, or response splitting. This could lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, or other security bypasses.
