Vulnerability Details

Axios is vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS). When a manipulated string is provided as input to the format method, the regular expression exhibits a time complexity of O(n^2). Server becomes unable to provide normal service due to the excessive cost and time wasted in processing vulnerable regular expressions.

Vulnerability Details

Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. When Axios prior to version 1.11.0 runs on Node.js and is given a URL with the "data:" scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory ("Buffer"/"Blob") and returns a synthetic 200 response. This path ignores "maxContentLength" / "maxBodyLength" (which only protect HTTP responses), so an attacker can supply a very large "data:" URI and cause the process to allocate unbounded memory and crash (DoS), even if the caller requested "responseType: 'stream'". Version 1.11.0 contains a patch for the issue.

Vulnerability Details

axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. The issue occurs when passing absolute URLs rather than protocol-relative URLs to axios. Even if ⁠baseURL is set, axios sends the request to the specified absolute URL, potentially causing SSRF and credential leakage. This issue impacts both server-side and client-side usage of axios. This issue is fixed in 1.8.2.
