Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Versions prior to 1.15.0 and 0.3.1 are vulnerable to a specific gadget-style attack chain in which prototype pollution in a third-party dependency may be leveraged to inject unsanitized header values into outbound requests. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0 and 0.3.1.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-6599e30e04 advisory.

The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Axios does not correctly handle hostname normalization when checking NO_PROXY rules. Requests to loopback     addresses like localhost. (with a trailing dot) or [::1] (IPv6 literal) skip NO_PROXY matching and go through     the configured proxy. This allows attackers to force requests through a proxy, even if NO_PROXY is set up to     protect loopback or internal services, leading to the possibility of proxy bypass and SSRF vulnerabilities.
    (CVE-2025-62718)

  - The Axios library is vulnerable to a specific Gadget attack chain that allows Prototype Pollution in any     third-party dependency to be escalated into Remote Code Execution (RCE) or Full Cloud Compromise via AWS IMDSv2     bypass. (CVE-2026-40175)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, the Axios application running on the remote host is prior to 1.15.0. It is, therefore, affected by a Header Injection vulnerability.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
