## Summary

An attacker who can control attachment MIME types or Content-ID values may be able to inject extra headers or content into multipart messages, which could alter how those messages are interpreted or processed.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- cakephp: through 5.4.3

## Description

CakePHP through 5.4.3 contains a header injection vulnerability in FormDataPart that allows attackers to inject MIME part headers via unsanitized Content-Type and Content-ID values. Attackers can supply CR/LF sequences in attachment MIME types or Content-IDs passed to Message::setAttachments() or HTTP client multipart data to add arbitrary headers or content.
