  "title": "node-axios: Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js",
  "description": "Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From 1.0.0 to before 1.16.0, the Axios library is vulnerable to a Prototype Pollution \u0022Gadget\u0022 attack that allows any Object.prototype pollution in the application\u0027s dependency tree to be escalated into a full Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack \u2014 intercepting, reading, and modifying all HTTP traffic including authentication credentials. The HTTP adapter at lib/adapters/http.js:670 reads config.proxy via standard property access, which traverses the prototype chain. Because proxy is not present in Axios defaults, the merged config object has no own proxy property, making it trivially injectable via prototype pollution. Once injected, setProxy() routes all HTTP requests through the attacker\u0027s proxy server. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.16.0.",
