Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. Prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1, an attacker who can influence the target URL of an Axios request can use any address in the 127.0.0.0/8 range (other than 127.0.0.1) to completely bypass the NO_PROXY protection. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete for CVE-2025-62718, This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1.

According to its self-reported version number, the Atlassian Jira application running on the remote host is prior to 10.3.22 or 10.4.x prior to 11.3.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including flaws in bundled third-party dependencies :

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8638-1 advisory.

    Ameer Assadi discovered that Axios did not properly handle certain hostnames when applying NO_PROXY rules.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass proxy restrictions and access internal services,     resulting in server-side request forgery. (CVE-2025-62718)

    It was discovered that Axios did not properly protect certain HTTP header values from prototype pollution.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject malicious values into outbound requests, resulting in     HTTP header injection. (CVE-2026-40175)

    Sachin Patil and Amol Patil discovered that Axios did not properly apply NO_PROXY rules to certain     loopback addresses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass proxy restrictions and access     internal services, resulting in server-side request forgery. (CVE-2026-42043)

    Yu Bao discovered that Axios did not properly protect JSON response processing from prototype pollution.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to modify values in application responses, resulting in     authorization bypass or privilege escalation. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-42044)

    It was discovered that Axios did not properly protect certain request configuration options from prototype     pollution. An attacker could possibly use this issue to modify outbound HTTP requests, resulting in     security restrictions being bypassed. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2026-42264)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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. Prior to 1.15.1 and 0.31.1, an attacker
    who can influence the target URL of an Axios request can use any address in the 127.0.0.0/8 range (other
    than 127.0.0.1) to completely bypass the NO_PROXY protection. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete
    for CVE-2025-62718, This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.1 and 0.31.1. (CVE-2026-42043)

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 12.0.4 prior to 12.0.4 FP3, or 12.1.x prior to 12.1.3 FP2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the IBM Security Bulletin No.
7287209:

  - NLTK versions 3.9.2 and prior are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to improper input     validation in the StanfordSegmenter module. The module dynamically loads external Java .jar files     without verification or sandboxing. An attacker can supply or replace the JAR file, enabling the     execution of arbitrary Java bytecode at import time. (CVE-2026-0848)

  - The lodash fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not     apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function()     constructor sink. When an application passes untrusted input as options.imports key names, an attacker     can inject default-parameter expressions that execute arbitrary code at template compilation time.
    (CVE-2026-4800)

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
    From 45.0.0 to before 46.0.7, if a non-contiguous buffer was passed to APIs which accepted Python     buffers (e.g. Hash.update()), this could lead to buffer overflows. (CVE-2026-39892)

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

The version of the axios Node.js module installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Prototype pollution gadgets in axios allow response tampering, data exfiltration, and request hijacking.
    (CVE-2026-42033)

  - Axios' HTTP adapter-streamed uploads bypass maxBodyLength when maxRedirects is set to 0. (CVE-2026-42034)

  - Header injection via prototype pollution in axios. (CVE-2026-42035)

  - Axios HTTP adapter streamed responses bypass maxContentLength. (CVE-2026-42036)

  - Axios no_proxy bypass via IP alias allows SSRF. (CVE-2026-42038)

  - Unbounded recursion in toFormData causes denial of service via deeply nested request data. (CVE-2026-42039)

  - Incomplete fix for CVE-2025-62718 - NO_PROXY protection bypassed via RFC 1122 loopback subnet (127.0.0.0/8)     in axios 1.15.0. (CVE-2026-42043)

Note that Nessus 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.
