NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-axios package and not the node-axios package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Versions prior to 1.15.0 and 0.3.1 are vulnerable to a specific gadget-style attack chain in which prototype pollution in a third-party dependency may be leveraged to inject unsanitized header values into outbound requests. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0 and 0.3.1.
