ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Header Checking Disabled
Abstract
Disabling header checking opens the door for attackers to perform header manipulation attacks such as HTTP Response Splitting.
Explanation
By default, the .NET framework prevents new line characters from being sent to APIs that set header values. However, this behavior can be disabled in configuration files by setting the
When this check is disabled, code that allows user input to reach header setting APIs is vulnerable to attacks like HTTP Response Splitting.
enableHeaderChecking attribute on the <httpRuntime> tag to false.When this check is disabled, code that allows user input to reach header setting APIs is vulnerable to attacks like HTTP Response Splitting.
