Description:
Juraj Skripsky has reported a vulnerability in Mono, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct HTTP header injection attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to the Sys.Web module not properly sanitising certain parameters before using them in HTTP responses. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
