CRLF injection vulnerability in the Undertow web server in WildFly 10.0.0, as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.x before 7.0.2, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2016-4993
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.1 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.5%, top 19% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
