Description
A flaw was found in undici, a Node.js HTTP/1.1 client. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject malicious data into HTTP headers or prematurely end HTTP requests by sending specially crafted input to the upgrade option of client.request(). This is possible because undici does not properly validate input for invalid header characters, which could lead to unauthorized information disclosure or bypassing of security controls.
