      <title>GHSA-pmwg-cvhr-8vh7 — Axios: Incomplete Fix for CVE-2025-62718 — NO_PROXY Protection Bypassed via RFC 1122 Loopback Subnet (127.0.0.0/8) in A…</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-pmwg-cvhr-8vh7</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; npm: axios&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**1. Executive Summary**
This report documents an **incomplete security patch** for the previously disclosed vulnerability **GHSA-3p68-rc4w-qgx5 (CVE-2025-62718)**, which affects the `NO_PROXY` hostname resolution logic in the Axios HTTP library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**Background — The Original Vulnerability**
The original vulnerability (GHSA-3p68-rc4w-qgx5) disclosed that Axios did not normalize hostnames before comparing them against `NO_PROXY` rules. Specifically, a request to `http://localhost./` (with a trailing dot) or `http://[::1]/` (with IPv6 bracket notation) would **bypass NO_PROXY matching entirely** and be forwarded to the configured HTTP proxy — even when `NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1,::1` was explicitly set by the developer to protect loopback services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Axios maintainers addressed this in **version 1.15.0** by introducing a `normalizeNoProxyHost()` function in `lib/helpers/shouldBypassProxy.js`, which strips trailing dots from hostnames and removes brackets from IPv6 literals before performing the NO_PROXY comparison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**The Incomplete Patch — This Finding**
While the patch correctly addresses the specific cases reported (trailing dot normalization and IPv6 bracket removal), **the fix is architecturally incomplete**.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The patch introduced a hardcoded set of recognized loopback addresses:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;```
// lib/helpers/shouldBypassProxy.js — Line 1
const LOOPBACK_ADDRESSES = new Set([&amp;#39;localhost&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;127.0.0.1&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;::1&amp;#39;]);
```
However, **RFC 1122 §3.2.1.3** explicitly defines the **entire 12…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
