CVE-2017-16005 Information

Description

Http-signature is a \Reference implementation of Joyent’s HTTP Signature Scheme. In versions =0.9.11 http-signature signs only the header values but not the header names. This makes http-signature vulnerable to header forgery. Thus if an attacker can intercept a request he can swap header names and change the meaning of the request without changing the signature.
