Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. From version 1.0.0 to before version 1.15.2, fFive config properties (auth, baseURL, socketPath, beforeRedirect, and insecureHTTPParser) in the HTTP adapter are read via direct property access without hasOwnProperty guards, making them exploitable as prototype pollution gadgets. When Object.prototype is polluted by another dependency in the same process, axios silently picks up these polluted values on every outbound HTTP request. This issue has been patched in version 1.15.2.

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 :

    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.

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)
