CRLF Injection Scanner
header injection, response splitting. Part of AuditCore's automated security audit pipeline — runs on every scan in the Pro tier and above, with findings normalized into a single severity-rated table.
What is CRLF Injection Scanner?
CRLF Injection Scanner runs in the Injection & Active Tests phase of every AuditCore scan that includes it. Active payload-based scanning — SQL, NoSQL, command, template, XXE, SSRF, prototype pollution, race conditions, AI prompt injection, business-logic abuse, plus full ZAP / Nuclei / sqlmap.
Out of the box it covers: header injection, response splitting. Findings are normalized into AuditCore's vulnerability model so they appear next to results from every other scanner — no separate tabs, no tool-specific jargon, one CVSS-rated table.
If you've ever wondered which scanners actually run when you click "Start scan" on AuditCore, this is one of them. The full pipeline is documented per phase, and you can see exactly which tools fired on any given scan from the live terminal feed.
What it tests
- header injection, response splitting
- Runs automatically as part of any Pro-tier scan and above
- Findings appear in the standard AuditCore severity table (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info)
- Results are bundled into the PDF report and exposed via the API

Sample findings
CRLF Injection Scanner fired on a real target
Typical run produces between 0 and dozens of normalized findings depending on the target's posture. Each finding includes severity, evidence, affected URL/parameter, and a remediation hint.

FAQ
What does CRLF Injection Scanner test for?
header injection, response splitting
Which AuditCore plan includes CRLF Injection Scanner?
Available from the Pro plan ($299) and up. Higher tiers also include this scanner — license once, rescan unlimited.
Is CRLF Injection Scanner safe to run on production?
CRLF Injection Scanner runs active payloads, so we recommend running it against a staging environment first. AuditCore caps risk levels (e.g. sqlmap uses --technique=BEU only, no stacked queries; nmap uses safe NSE scripts) but you should still get authorization before scanning production systems you don't own.
Where does CRLF Injection Scanner run in the AuditCore scan pipeline?
Phase 4/5 — Injection & Active Tests. Active payload-based scanning — SQL, NoSQL, command, template, XXE, SSRF, prototype pollution, race conditions, AI prompt injection, business-logic abuse, plus full ZAP / Nuclei / sqlmap.
Can I rerun CRLF Injection Scanner without paying again?
Yes. AuditCore uses a per-domain license model — once you've purchased a tier for a domain, every rescan (manual or scheduled) is included. No metered usage.
