Axios: Header Injection via Inherited headers After Minimal Interceptor
CVE-2026-101904 is fixed in node-axios on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-101904 (version 1.20.0-1), released September 29, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.0.0 until 1.20.0, the dispatchRequest function normalizes inherited Object.prototype.headers from a replacement request configuration. A separate same-process prototype-pollution flaw sets Object.prototype.headers, and trusted request interceptors return a new ordinary configuration without an own headers property. After the interceptor chain, dispatchRequest resolves the inherited headers during normalization. Downstream request processing can observe attacker-controlled headers, including authorization-related values. This issue is fixed in version 1.20.0.
