CVE-2026-44486

A flaw was found in Axios, a promise-based HTTP client, specifically in its Node.js HTTP adapter. When Axios is configured to use an authenticated proxy and follows a redirect, it may inadvertently send the Proxy-Authorization header, containing proxy credentials, to the redirect target. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive proxy credentials to an unintended remote server.

CVE-2026-44492

A flaw was found in Axios, a promise-based HTTP client. This vulnerability occurs because Axios does not properly normalize IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. When a NO_PROXY setting is configured to block direct access to specific IPv4 addresses, an attacker can bypass this restriction by using the IPv4-mapped IPv6 form of the address in a request URL. This allows the request to be routed through the proxy, potentially exposing internal services or sensitive information that should otherwise be inaccessible.
