CVE-2026-44486 — Axios: Proxy-Authorization header leaks to redirect target when proxy is re-evaluated to direct connection

Affected: axios, Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.13.6, Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.14.1, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9, Red Hat Data Grid 8.6.2, Red Hat multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.1, Red Hat multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.6, Red Hat multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.8, Red Hat multicluster engine for Kubernetes 2.9 and 56 more

Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 0.32.0 and 1.16.0, Axios’ Node.js HTTP adapter can leak proxy credentials to a redirect target in affected versions. When a request is sent through an authenticated proxy, Axios may add a Proxy-Authorization header. If Axios then follows a redirect and the redirected request is no longer sent through that proxy, the stale Proxy-Authorization header can remain on the redirected request and be sent to the redirect target. This affects Node.js's use of Axios with automatic redirects enabled and an authenticated proxy configuration. Browser adapters are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.32.0 and 1.16.0.
