Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where 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. In Github.com/apache/trafficcontrol, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
