CVE-2026-44979
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
@hapi/wreck is an HTTP client utility. Prior to 18.1.1, when @hapi/wreck follows a 3xx redirect to a different hostname, only the Authorization and Cookie headers are stripped, and the standard credential header Proxy-Authorization is forwarded intact to the redirect target, potentially exposing forward-proxy credentials to a host outside the original trust boundary when redirects are enabled through the redirects option or Wreck.defaults({ redirects: ... }). This issue is fixed in version 18.1.1.

Antes de la versión 18.1.1, cuando @hapi/wreck sigue una redirección 3xx a un nombre de host diferente, solo se eliminan los encabezados de Autorización y Cookie, y el encabezado de credenciales estándar Proxy-Authorization se reenvía intacto al destino de la redirección, exponiendo potencialmente las credenciales de proxy de reenvío a un host fuera del límite de confianza original cuando las redirecciones están habilitadas a través de la opción redirects o Wreck.defaults({ redirects: ... }). Este problema se solucionó en la versión 18.1.1."
