  author: 0x_Akoko
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Monstra CMS 3.0.4 is susceptible to HTTP header injection in the plugins/captcha/crypt/cryptographp.php cfg parameter.

This is a related issue to CVE-2012-2943.
  impact: |
    This vulnerability can lead to various attacks such as session hijacking, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote code execution (RCE).
  remediation: |
