Kallithea 0.2.9 (came_from) HTTP Response Splitting Vulnerability

Kallithea suffers from a HTTP header injection (response splitting) vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user input before using it as an HTTP header value via the GET 'came_from' parameter in the login instance. This type of attack not only allows a malicious user to control the remaining headers and body of the response the application intends to send, but also allow them to create additional responses entirely under their control.

Mitigation:

The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to the latest version of Kallithea.
