# Possible CLRF injection detected

## Overview

* **Rule ID**: `java_lang_crlf_injection`
* **Applicable Languages**: Java
* **Weakness ID**: CWE-93

## Description

CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) injection vulnerability occurs when an attacker can insert line termination characters into a log message. This can result in forged log entries, compromising the integrity of log files.

## Remediation Guidelines

* Before logging user input data, it is essential to *strip any carriage return and line feed characters*. This practice prevents attackers from injecting malicious CRLF sequences into the log entries.

  ```java
  logger.info(userInput.replaceAll("[\r\n]+", ""));
  ```
