'''HTTP header injection''' is a general class of [[web application]] [[security vulnerability]] which occurs when [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]] ([[HTTP]]) [[list of HTTP headers|headers]] are dynamically generated based on user input. Header injection in HTTP responses can allow for [[HTTP response splitting]], [[session fixation]] via the Set-Cookie header, [[cross-site scripting]] (XSS), and malicious redirect attacks via the ___location header. XSS attacks can be blocked with the use of an extension such as [[NoScript]] or Malwarebytes Browser Guard on your browser.
