CVE-2026-101902
Description
A flaw was found in axios. When sending HTTP requests that omit an explicit request method, Axios can inherit properties from the JavaScript prototype chain rather than using safe internal defaults. If an attacker manipulates shared object properties through a separate vulnerability in the same application, they can exploit this behavior to override the intended request method. This allows an attacker to force expected read-only requests to be sent as state-changing methods such as POST or DELETE, potentially resulting in unauthorized data modification or deletion.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
