CVE-2026-101903
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-c29m-xwm3-cm6r ↗EUVD-2026-88378 ↗
description
Axios versions before 1.20.0 can consume excessive synchronous CPU while parsing malformed data: URLs in the Node.js HTTP adapter. An attacker may delay the Node.js event loop and disrupt service when the application forwards untrusted URL input to Axios without blocking or constraining data: URLs.
mitigation
Upgrade axios to version 1.20.0 or later. Until upgraded, reject data: URLs from untrusted input and impose a strict URL-length limit before calling Axios.
fixed in 1.20.0
outcome
Mechanism verified: the exploit fired on the vulnerable build and stayed silent on the patched one, but the server it ran against was ours, so no check ships for it.
