For completeness:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616

The issue exists for both words starting with circumflex, and words ending with
circumflex. This affects authorization identity (authzid), authentication
identity (authcid), and password (passwd).

> message = [authzid] UTF8NUL authcid UTF8NUL passwd
