Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.0 and 0.3.1, 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). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0 and 0.3.1.

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-34c2bf6df4 advisory.

    Update axios to 1.15.0, fixes CVE-2026-40175 and CVE-2025-62718.

    Update to pgadmin4-9.14.

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

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-e9ecdd44c4 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.

  - Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.0 and 0.3.1, 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). 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.
