Vulnerability from github
When using axios, its dependency follow-redirects only clears authorization header during cross-domain redirect, but allows the proxy-authentication header which contains credentials too.
Steps To Reproduce & PoC
Test code:
```js const axios = require('axios');
axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:10081/', { headers: { 'AuThorization': 'Rear Test', 'ProXy-AuthoriZation': 'Rear Test', 'coOkie': 't=1' } }) .then((response) => { console.log(response); }) ```
When I meet the cross-domain redirect, the sensitive headers like authorization and cookie are cleared, but proxy-authentication header is kept.
Impact
This vulnerability may lead to credentials leak.
Recommendations
Remove proxy-authentication header during cross-domain redirect
Recommended Patch
