{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44489","details":"Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.15.2 to before 1.16.0, nested objects created by utils.merge() (e.g., config.proxy) are still constructed as plain {} with Object.prototype in their chain. The setProxy() function at lib/adapters/http.js:209-223 reads proxy.username, proxy.password, and proxy.auth without hasOwnProperty checks. When Object.prototype.username is polluted, setProxy() constructs a Proxy-Authorization header with attacker-controlled credentials and injects it into every proxied HTTP request. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.0.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:03:35.433845854Z","published":"2026-06-11T17:16:32.883Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-44489"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-44489"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-axios","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-axios?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.16.0-1"}]}],"versions":["1.11.0+dfsg-1","1.12.1+dfsg-1","1.13.1+dfsg-1","1.13.2+dfsg-1","1.14.0+dfsg-1","1.15.0-1","1.15.2-1","1.8.4+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44489.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}
