Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials via improper sanitization of sensitive headers during HTTP redirects. An attacker can obtain confidential authorization tokens or encryption keys by intercepting network traffic when a redirect from HTTPS to HTTP or a cross-origin redirect occurs. This is only exploitable if a trusted endpoint, gateway, or accelerator emits an unsafe redirect and an adjacent or on-path observer is present.
