Vulnerability Vulnerable Version

Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
M Information Exposure Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to the handling of the `Proxy-Authorization` header across hosts. When using a dependent library, it only clears the authorization header during cross-domain redirects but allows the proxy-authentication header, which contains credentials, to persist. This behavior may lead to the unintended leakage of credentials if an attacker can trigger a cross-domain redirect and capture the persistent proxy-authentication header. How to fix Information Exposure? Upgrade `follow-redirects` to version 1.15.6 or higher.	<1.15.6
H Improper Handling of Extra Parameters Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Extra Parameters due to the improper handling of URLs by the `url.parse()` function. When `new URL()` throws an error, it can be manipulated to misinterpret the hostname. An attacker could exploit this weakness to redirect traffic to a malicious site, potentially leading to information disclosure, phishing attacks, or other security breaches. How to fix Improper Handling of Extra Parameters? Upgrade `follow-redirects` to version 1.15.4 or higher.	<1.15.4
