cpp-httplib through 0.5.8 does not filter rn in parameters passed into the set_redirect and set_header functions, which creates possibilities for CRLF injection and HTTP response splitting in some specific contexts.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
