Upgrade hackney to version 4.0.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Open Redirect via the handle_redirect/8 redirect flow in the HTTP/3 client. An attacker can exfiltrate Authorization, Cookie, and Proxy-Authorization headers, and for 307/308 redirects the original request body, by returning a Location header that points to an attacker-controlled origin. This lets a malicious upstream capture bearer tokens and session cookies when a client follows redirects without checking whether the target is the same scheme, host, and port.
Workarounds
- Set
follow_redirecttofalsefor HTTP/3 requests that may receive redirects, so the client does not automatically follow a cross-originLocationand leakAuthorization,Cookie,Proxy-Authorization, or a 307/308 request body to another host.
