What is CVE-2018-12116?

A vulnerability exists in Node.js that affects all versions prior to 6.15.0 and 8.14.0, allowing for HTTP request splitting. This issue arises when Node.js processes unsanitized user-provided Unicode data in the path option of an HTTP request. An attacker may exploit this flaw by manipulating the request, resulting in an unintended and user-defined HTTP request being sent to the same server. This exploitation can lead to unforeseen actions being executed on behalf of the affected service.
