CVE-2026-50188: Kirby: Request header injection in `Http\Remote`

June 18, 2026

In affected releases, header values passed to Remote were handed to the cURL request library without removing newline characters:

The headers option accepted arbitrary strings as header values and forwarded them to the underlying cURL request unchanged. A value containing \r\n was written verbatim to the socket and therefore split into several header lines on the wire.

For example, a single X-Foo header value of "Bar\r\nX-Injected: pwned" produced two separate headers in the outgoing request:

X-Foo: Bar
X-Injected: pwned

The receiving server parsed X-Injected: pwned as its own header. In the same way, an attacker could override a header that the application set earlier in the same request (for example, replacing a legitimate Authorization header).

The vulnerability allows attackers to inject or override HTTP headers in outgoing requests, provided the affected application or plugin includes attacker-controlled data in a header value.
