Description
Pi-hole Admin Interface is a web interface for managing Pi-hole, a network-level advertisement and internet tracker blocking application. Pi-hole Admin Interface before 6.3 is vulnerable to Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) injection. When a request is made to a file ending with the .lp extension, the application performs a redirect without properly sanitizing the input. An attacker can inject carriage return and line feed characters (%0d%0a) to manipulate both the headers and the content of the HTTP response. This enables the injection of arbitrary HTTP response headers, potentially leading to session fixation, cache poisoning, and the weakening or bypassing of browser-based security mechanisms such as Content Security Policy or X-XSS-Protection. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.3.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) injection in the Pi-hole Admin Interface before version 6.3. When a request is made to a file ending with the .lp extension, the application redirects without properly sanitizing input. An attacker can inject carriage return and line feed characters (%0d%0a) to manipulate HTTP response headers and content, allowing injection of arbitrary HTTP headers. This can lead to session fixation, cache poisoning, and bypassing browser security mechanisms like Content Security Policy or X-XSS-Protection.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can impact you by allowing attackers to manipulate HTTP response headers, which can result in session fixation (taking over user sessions), cache poisoning (serving malicious content), and weakening or bypassing browser security features. These impacts can compromise the security and integrity of your network-level advertisement and tracker blocking managed by Pi-hole.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

Upgrade the Pi-hole Admin Interface to version 6.3 or later, as this version contains the fix for the CRLF injection vulnerability.
