Log Poisoning via CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) Injection is an attack where an attacker inserts special newline characters (\r\n) into input fields. This causes the system to create fake or misleading log entries, making it harder for administrators to detect real malicious activities.
To prevent CRLF log poisoning, always sanitize user input by removing or encoding newline characters before logging. Use structured or parameterized logging methods to ensure untrusted data cannot alter log entries or mislead administrators.
Attackers exploit unsanitized user input to inject CRLF characters into log files.
