Ameer Assadi discovered that Axios did not properly handle certain hostnames when applying NO_PROXY rules. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass proxy restrictions and access internal services, resulting in server-side request forgery. ( CVE-2025-62718 ) It was discovered that Axios did not properly protect certain HTTP header values from prototype pollution. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject malicious values into outbound requests, resulting in HTTP header injection. ( CVE-2026-40175 ) Sachin Patil and Amol Patil discovered that Axios did not properly apply NO_PROXY rules to certain loopback addresses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass proxy restrictions and access internal services, resulting in server-side request forgery. ( CVE-2026-42043 ) Yu Bao discovered...
