Background:
The _sanitize_headers method in src/cleveragents/providers/openrouter_provider.py is intended to sanitize custom headers before they are sent to the OpenRouter API.

Current Behavior:
The _sanitize_headers method currently only casts header keys and values to strings. This could allow for newline injection and other header manipulation attacks if malicious input is provided.

Expected Behavior:
The _sanitize_headers method should properly sanitize custom headers to prevent header injection vulnerabilities. This includes stripping any newline characters and other potentially malicious characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
Further investigation is needed to determine the exact steps to reproduce this vulnerability.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • The _sanitize_headers method is updated to properly sanitize custom headers.
  • The method is audited for any other potential security vulnerabilities.
  • Unit tests are added to verify that the sanitization is effective.

Commit Message:
fix(security): prevent header injection in openrouter_provider
