Background

Zend Framework is a popular PHP framework that provides a collection of professional PHP packages for developing web applications. It offers a wide range of features and components to facilitate the development process. However, versions before 1.12.12, 2.x before 2.3.8, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 are vulnerable to a CRLF injection vulnerability in Zend\Mail (Zend_Mail) component. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks by exploiting CRLF sequences in the header of an email.

Vulnerability Detail

The CRLF injection vulnerability in Zend Framework allows an attacker to manipulate the HTTP response by injecting arbitrary headers. By inserting CRLF sequences in the email header, an attacker can control the response and potentially perform various attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), session fixation, cache poisoning, or phishing attacks. This vulnerability can lead to serious security breaches and compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the affected application.
