Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for cpp-httplib.

CVE-2026-21428[0]:
| cpp-httplib is a C++11 single-file header-only cross platform
| HTTP/HTTPS library. Prior to version 0.30.0, the ``write_headers``
| function does not check for CR & LF characters in user supplied
| headers, allowing untrusted header value to escape header lines.
| This vulnerability allows attackers to add extra headers, modify
| request body unexpectedly & trigger an SSRF attack. When combined
| with a server that supports http1.1 pipelining (springboot, python
| twisted etc), this can be used for server side request forgery
| (SSRF). Version 0.30.0 fixes this issue.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
