CVE-2026-7017
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
HTTP::Tiny versions before 0.095 for Perl forward credential headers to cross-origin redirect targets. When the server returns a 3xx redirect, `_maybe_redirect` follows the `Location:` header and `_prepare_headers_and_cb` re-merges the caller's `headers` argument into the new request, without checking whether the redirect target shares an origin with the original URL. Caller-supplied `Authorization`, `Cookie` and `Proxy-Authorization` headers are therefore re-sent to whatever host the redirect names, across scheme, host or port boundaries, and including `https` to `http` downgrades that expose them in plaintext on the wire. The HTTP::Tiny POD note that "Authorization headers will not be included in a redirected request" applied only to the URL-userinfo Basic-auth path, not to headers passed explicitly by the caller.

"value": "Versiones de HTTP::Tiny anteriores a la 0.095 para Perl reenvían encabezados de credenciales a destinos de redirección de origen cruzado.\n\nCuando el servidor devuelve una redirección 3xx, ’_maybe_redirect’ sigue el encabezado ’Location:’ y ’_prepare_headers_and_cb’ vuelve a fusionar el argumento ’headers’ del llamador en la nueva solicitud, sin verificar si el destino de la redirección comparte un origen con la URL original. Los encabezados ’Authorization’, ’Cookie’ y ’Proxy-Authorization’ proporcionados por el llamador son, por lo tanto, reenviados a cualquier host que nombre la redirección, a través de límites de esquema, host o puerto, e incluyendo degradaciones de ’https’ a ’http’ que los exponen en texto plano en la red.\n\nLa nota POD de HTTP::Tiny que dice que ’Los encabezados de autorización no se incluirán en una solicitud redirigida’ se aplicaba solo a la ruta de autenticación básica de URL-userinfo, no a los encabezados pasados explícitamente por el llamador."
