Overview

undici is an An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict via the parseCacheControlHeader function in lib/util/cache.js and the cache interceptor. An attacker can cause a shared cached response containing authenticated data to be stored and later served to another caller by sending a Cache-Control header with a qualified private or no-cache directive padded with optional whitespace around =. The parser misreads forms such as private ="" or no-cache= "authorization", so the cache logic fails to recognize the directive as a qualified restriction and treats the response as cacheable. In shared-cache deployments that forward Authorization headers, this exposes one user’s response body and cookies to a subsequent request for the same cache key, including an unauthenticated request.
