NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream authentik-2025.12 package and not the authentik-2025.12 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

The RedirectHandler middleware in microsoft/kiota-java (com.microsoft.kiota:microsoft-kiota-http-okHttp v1.9.0) and other Kiota libraries fails to strip sensitive HTTP headers when following 3xx redirects to a different host or scheme. Only the Authorization header is removed; Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, and all custom headers are forwarded to the redirect target.
