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 Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:24762 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

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.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - 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. (CVE-2026-40175)

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.

  - 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. (CVE-2026-40175)

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