First published: Wed Jan 20 2021(Updated: )
Gin-Gonic Gin Web Framework is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
