NewCVE-2026-101906 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade axios to version 1.20.0 or higher.
Overview
axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via unsafe runtime option handling in the fetch and HTTP adapters, where user-supplied fetchOptions are merged into the resolved request options without sanitization. An attacker who can influence request configuration can trigger uncontrolled resource consumption, crashing the process.
Note: This is only exploitable when requests follow redirects (i.e., maxRedirects is not set to 0), unless application code manually follows the malicious redirect and re-enters axios.
