CVE-2026-67316
Description
A flaw was found in axios, a widely used JavaScript library for making web requests. This vulnerability, known as prototype pollution, allows an attacker to subtly alter how network requests are built if another part of the system has already been compromised. This could lead to an attacker injecting unauthorized data into requests that were not intended to have a body. In more advanced scenarios, an attacker could also redirect network traffic through their own malicious servers or manipulate how URLs are processed, potentially exposing sensitive information or allowing traffic modification.
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).
